How it's used

Literary in nature, this term is rarely used in casual, everyday speech to describe actual flowers. It is much more common in written contexts or formal speech to describe abstract concepts like smiles, talent, or beauty. When talking about real flowers in daily life, people almost always use 開花 instead.

Common mistake

Using this word to describe a simple flower opening in a casual conversation will sound overly dramatic or poetic, similar to using the word 'blossom' in a very formal English essay.
