I often ask people around me for their favorite character or word for my calligraphic activity.  This time, I asked this question to my long-time friend from high school days.

And she gave me this very interesting looking character “槐” or “sophora”, a kind of plants, that can be divided to two parts, “tree” and “ogre”.

Please enjoy some photos I took at the Kyoto Botanical Gardens, as well as my work.

Incidentally, its flower languages are “welfare” and “refinement”, as the plant is regarded as a sign of auspiciousness.

いつものようにお好きな字や語を教えてくださいと高校時代からの長年の友人に頼んだら、この面白い字を教えてもらいました。

何しろ、「木偏に鬼」で槐（エンジュ）！

京都の植物園で撮った写真と一緒にご覧ください。

縁起のいい木とされているらしく、花言葉は「幸福」や「上品」です。
