The paper plant (Fatsia japonica) is native to, and can be found across, Japan. The plant is called "yatsude" in Japanese, which translates into "eight hands." Despite such a Japanese name, however, the paper plant generally has not eight but NINE lobes (ha-ha). The reason for the confusion is that term eight (8) used to mean many in Japan. Part of the English name "fatsi" also comes from "hachi," which means "eight." The paper plant has another Japanese name "tengu's fan." Tengu is a type of legendary creature in Japanese folklore and is considered a mischievous supernatural being.

Paper plants produce flowers from October to December after many plants' flowering season, which is why bees and horse flies are often seen hovering over the flowers in these months.

八つ手（ヤツデ）、別名「天狗の団扇」です。日本原産で花期は10月から12月。他の植物の花期が終わった後に花を咲かせるせいか、この時期の虫君たちの食事処になっているようです。英語の学名は「Fatsia japonica」で「fatsia」は「八（はち）」に由来するそうです。
