諺
Japanese proverb 諺：
花より団子 - はなよりだんご Pudding before praise.
This proverb expresses the notion that practical things are far more valuable than whimsical decorations that don’t last long. Why would anyone appreciate flowers when you could get the also-colourful-yet-filling dango dumplings instead?
(lit. Dumplings over flowers.)
