Another popular symbol in Japan and actually throughout Asian is the lotus flower. Religiously speaking the lotus flower held great significance historically in India. The power, symbolism and influence of this flower traveled to Asian along with the religious system known as Buddhism. Many believe that the lotus flower best represents the journey of life.
