Fun* fact: the UK Embassy in Tokyo has negative imputed rent because we rent it from the imperial household for one chrysanthemum a year but if we give it up we have to restore it to it's original state as part of the C19th imperial gardens, which would cost millions * For a given definition of fun

...is there a ceremony where once a year then British ambassador has to deliver a Chrysanthemum to the Imperial Household Agency to pay the rent?

Oh, nice! And chrysanthemums are so much cooler as nominal rent than peppercorns.
