    “The concept is French integrity and integrity. The flower selected from the flower language is a white lily. There is a saying in Japan that compares a beautiful woman. It is a peony when standing, a peony when sitting, and a lily flower when walking. It's a flower that deserves to represent an active French woman. It was noted here that the coat of arms of the Louis dynasty was mistaken for the iris, but as a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that the iris was the iris in Japan. The work boasts a free, relaxed and pretty beauty, and has become a masterpiece that expresses the image of noble and pure white France.”[1]
