Kikyo is a plant that has been popular in Japan for a long time, and it blooms with refreshing and refreshing bluish-purple flowers.
Okura Yamanoue wrote a poem in the oldest collection of poems, Manyoshu, and it has been counted as one of the seven autumn herbs.
Before blooming, the bellflower buds are inflated like paper balloons, which is why they are called balloon flowers in English.
June in Japan is a humid, hot and rainy season called tsuyu.
The bellflower begins to bloom in June, and its bluish-purple flowers are refreshing and soothing to the viewer, blowing away the damp and humid heat and making you feel cool.
