Tsukushi is the name of the spores stem of horsetail. In kanji, the word "tsuko" is applied from its origin, and the word "tsukushi" is applied from the appearance.
In the past (), in the spring
, you could see as many as you like on the banks of the river, but recently, if you find it actually grows, you will be a little excited.
The Tsukushi appeared in the planting area of Tsukiji River Kamei Bridge Park, a park built beside Kamei Bridge.
Under the bridge and park, there is the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway.
In this area, the horsetail always stretches green leaves during this season, but I never saw Tsukushi.
In the photo below, horsetail buds are sprouting around Tsukushi.
According to books, both Tsukushi and Sugina are connected by underground stem, and there are many cases where Tsukushi does not come out and only Sugina grows.
What was the great swarm of Tsukushi, a spring tradition that I saw as a matter of course in the past?
In any case, it's spring performance.
