From bud to flowering
In this blog, I introduced the giboshi installed in Nihonbashi, where the plant "Giboshi" was named. Mr. Kuroeya, who owns the giboshi in the Edo period, was interested and received materials about the Nihonbashi lacquerware merchant "Dorisanken". Thank you very much.
By the way, this time, as an extra edition, two Giboushis are planted in the small garden of my home, and it has just reached the time of "flowering from buds", so I will introduce the state of the change. Giboushi in my home seems to be close to the important original species of large horticultural varieties that have been cultivated for a long time. The whole is covered with white powder and the leaves are circular, and the plant height is slightly lower than the Obagiboshi. It was a giboshi-style bud on June 12, but it bloomed on the 25th and fully opened on July 8th. Some begin to die, and there is no image of giboshi. Still, I enjoyed it for almost a month.
The sprout before the "Giboshi" blooms is called "noisy". You can eat it by soaking it. It seems that it is basically boiled, boiled, Japanese, and soaked. The key point is that it leaves a crisp texture, and it distorts quickly, but I have never eaten it. I'd like to try it next year.
If you write this urui in kanji, it will be "giboshi". The shape of the bud of the "Giboushi" flower is "giboshi" which is a jewel-shaped decoration attached to the decorations of bridges, temples, and pillars.
The Buddhist jewel is said to have come out of the urn shape of a Buddha or from the head of the dragon god, and is placed on the palm of Jizo Bodhisattva.
Jizo Bodhisattva's jewel
It is common to have Jizo Bodhisattva's left hand, giboshi, and shakujo on the right hand.
Actually, there is another theory. It is not a very emotional theory, but it is said that the unique smell of green onions would also become amulet, so it became "Onion Hat" Negiboshi = Giboshi. I don't like it very much.
