A Chysanthemum was the family crest of the former Emperor of Japan. That crest was put on most of the small arms issued to the Imperial Japanese troops during the Second World War.
And before you dispose of your great grand-dad’s “icky” captured Japanese Type 99 Ariskia Rifle at the local police buy back for a $25 “gift card,” check to see if the Chysanthemum (Or “Mum”) is still intact on the rifle and not “grounded out.” Rifles with intact “Mums” are worth $400 to $500 to Collectors.
I believe it was Gertrude Stein who said a Rose is a Rose is a Rose. No matter what you call it by any other name, it is a rose.So she became famous and this is a take off on that poet. It would be similar to almost becoming famous by developing a drink called 6 up. Chrysanthemum? Nope.
I believe it was Gertrude Stein who wrote, A Rose is a Rose is a Rose. She was saying that no matter what youcall it, it is still a rose. This cartoon is a clever take off on that famous poet. It would be like almost becomingfamous by developing a drink called 6-up. Almost but no cigar. Chrysanthemum? Nope.

Else said: ’a mum is a mum is a mum". Quite mantra-like and visually appealing as well.

Even better, he could have said “Rose is Rose” and invented a comic strip…
