Rindo has long been popular among Japanese people as a wildflower that represents autumn.
It is very familiar to the Japanese because it can be seen in the fields and mountains close to human settlements and in the bright grasslands of the mountains.
Its roots are also used for medicinal purposes and are prized in medicine.
From late October to early November, when rindo begins to bloom, it is the season of autumn leaves in Japan, and the season of wildflwer, which blooms in the fields and mountains, is also coming to an end.
Even after the other flowers have withered, Rindo blooms brilliantly, and its beauty is like the radiance of autumn sapphires.
Rindo's beauty captivated me in the same way that it fascinated the nobles of the Heian period.
