@fyeahmyths’s spring event day 6: AsianDeity - Rafu-Sen, Spirit of The Plum Tree

Rafu-sen is the Shinto goddess of the plum blossom, symbolizing spring and bravery, for the plum tree blooms while the snow is still on the ground. She represents the cyclical renewal of spring and is usually depicted as a beautiful young immortal maiden who lives high on a sacred mountain of Japan. Rafu-Sen wanders through the fragrant groves of blossoming plum trees at night, especially in the moonlight.
