紫式部

マンションの敷地内に群生していた紫式部。源氏物語を書いた紫式部とは何の関係もないそうですが、その鮮やかな紫色がみやびで秋の風情です。

Murasaki Shikibu (Callicarpa dichotoma) planted on our condominium property. It is said that there is no relation between this plant and the author of the Tale of Genji, Murasaki Shikibu, but its bright purple color is elegant and well-matched with the season of late autumn.
