Japanese Ajisai (hydrangeas) in Kamakura / 鎌倉の姫あじさい♪
Ajisai (hydrangea), a flower that originates from Japan. Chika is taking us to Meigetsu-in to enjoy tons of hydrangeas. Such a beautiful garden (kirei)!!! But Why did Maruka, Chika's friend, the reason why they couldn't enjoy hydrangea in the rain? Quite a myth!
Highlights
"We are here to see the hydrangeas today, ajisai. The Kamakura is very famous for the hydrangeas and it's famous for a lot of things."
"So Maruka is 'hare onnna'. In Japan we have superstitious things where people are either like sunny or rainy and Maruka is a sunny girl."
"Meigetsu-in means bright moon and rabbits are associated with the moon because the crater and the moon looks like a rabbit pounding on rice cake."
"A little bit about ajisais, they originate from Japan but they actually didn't use to be popular."
"When I got in Europe, in England they became very popular, they decided to do selective reading and make it even more gorgeous looking."
