The plum motif has appeared in Japanese poetry since early anthologies such as Kaifūsō and Man’yōshū, symbolizing purity and perseverance. During the Edo period, the composition of classical Chinese poetry in Japan increased significantly. From its introduction in the Nara period until the Edo period, such poetry was predominantly written by men. However, during the Edo period, an increasing number of women poets also gained recognition in this literary tradition. With sensitivity to beauty often associated with femininity, female poets frequently depicted plants and flowers in their works.This paper explores how the plum, with its rich symbolic meanings, was portrayed in classical Chinese poetry by Edo-period women poets. Additionally, it examines how the “plum” motif was employed in both lyrical and descriptive poetry, shaping the expression of feminine sensibilities in this literary form.
