I found these strange flowers (?) in the the peony garden within the Ueno Park, Tokyo.

| What is this plant? |
It is edgeworthia chrysantha or oriental paper bush, but In Japan, it is called "mitsumata" because its stem always splits into three (mitsu) prongs (mata). As far as I see, as the name suggests, every stem branches into three stems!

Edgeworthia chrysantha is used in Japan to make bank notes and depreciated over a useful life of five years under corporate tax law!
変な形の花を見つけたので名札を見たら「ミツマタ」でした。これが和紙の原料なんですね。しかも法人税法上の減価償却資産で耐用年数5年だとのこと。貴重なものなんですね｡｡｡「変」なんて言ってごめんなさい🙇｡｡｡
