“Chestnut bur” is written in Japanese with a character for “ball” because, although it is covered with thorns, it has a round shape.  The photo sent from a friend shows some chestnut burs that have just fallen from a tree and are still young and soft.

栗のいがは毬と書くようです。トゲトゲでも丸いから毬だそうです。画像は、友人にもらったもので、自然に落ちたまだ柔らかい栗の毬だそうです。
