At a flower selection facility of Japan Agricultural Cooperative Nishimikawa in the city, employees boxed up carnations from local flower farms in various colors, such as red, pink and white. At this time of year, about 1 million carnations are dispatched mainly to Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, carrying thank you messages to mothers.
