The chrysanthemum on Japanese weapons has always been an insignia for the EMPEROR OF JAPAN and represents the loyalty that Japanese feel to the Emperor.
The Japanese historically referred to the Emperor as "Tenno," meaning "heavenly sovereign," reflecting the belief that the Emperor was a living god.
The Japanese emperor during 1735 was Emperor Sakuramachi. He was the 115th emperor of Japan. He was born on February 8, 1720 and died on May 28, 1750. Served as emperor from 1735 through 1747.
Most people would say that the Cherry Blossom(Sakura) is the National Flower of Japan. But the Yellow Chrysanthemum and the Japanese Apricot are actually supposed to be the National Flower(or flowers). The Cherry Blossom(Sakura) is more worldly renown because of its role in Japanese Legends and because of its beauty. But the Chrysanthemum used to be the sign of a great Japanese Emperor.It's widely understood that the Japanese cherry flower represents Japan (unofficially), but there are also other flowers that (officially) represents other components of the nation itself (e.g. the paulownia represents the current Japanese government, while the chrysanthemum represents the Emperor).People often say it is the Sakura, cherry blossom, that is the national flower.Japan, however, does not have an official national flower.There is no national flower for Japan. However, it is understood by the rest of the world that the cherry blossom (sakura) indirectly represents Japan. However, the paulownia flower represents the Japanese government (as it is the governmental emblem), while the chrysanthemum represents the Emperor (and Imperial Japan).
The head of the japanese government was the emperor
If the Japanese emperor dies, it will trigger a process called "Daikyo," which refers to the funeral and mourning period. The eldest son of the emperor, who is next in line, will then ascend to the throne following a succession ceremony. The Japanese government and people will observe mourning customs and conduct a state funeral to pay respects to the deceased emperor.
