Acanthus is the national flower of Greece and is native to the Mediterranean Sea. Not only how to attach flowers, but also the dark green color and characteristic leaves are also impressive. The large leaves are used as motifs for decoration such as Greek buildings and interiors, and the Corinthian pillars are characterized by a kansas-designed pillar.

You can check the decorations at the Mitsui Main Building and the Hario Building.

Crossing Aioi Bridge from Chuo-ku side, you will find the Ecchujima Campus of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, but the Acanthus pattern is drawn on the bow and stern of Meiji Maru, which are fixed on land on the premises.

It is the Meiji Maru, which became the root of "Sea Day" in July. The context seems to spread from Acanthus to the Aya of History...

His Japanese name is 'Hazami.'
It is a large perennial plant plant that symbolizes vitality. The fresh leaves inform you of the arrival of early summer.

Acanthus is also planted on the side planting where the ship is fixed.
