'absolutely improper'

japan is traditionally known as the land of the chrysanthemum. the flower is designed in the imperial crest and considered to be something noble and sacred. but in autumn, we EAT mums. this edible mum is particularly called "motte-no-hoka," which literally means "absolutely improper." (sorry, the emperor, but they are tasty...)
