〜Amusing Chinese character 鬼だ!〜

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。

〜Coming straight to my mind  馬酔木〜

I found beautiful Japanese andromeda flowers when I visited the local botanical garden the other day. Then, as always, I looked up the flower languages to happily find out one of them so sweet.
“Let us go on a journey together.”

先日地元の植物園に行った際、馬酔木のお花も綺麗だなと思い、例によって花言葉を調べたら、これも何とも素敵なものでした。

〜Peaceful sight 水車〜

I found a waterwheel in a local botanical garden.  I sat on a nearby bench and watched it for a while.
