The sacred bamboo (Nandina domestica) is native to China and came to Japan before the 16th century and now found across Japan. The plant is called "南天 (nanten)" in Japanese, which translates to South India, because it was believed to have come from there. The term "nanten," however, can also be written as "難転," which translates into "a blessing in disguise" and therefore the sacred bamboo is used for Japanese New Year decorations.
The sacred bamboo is known for its beautiful red berries but its leaves also turn red gorgeously from late autumn to winter.

南天です。南天竺から来たと思われていたので「南天」となったそうです。しかも「難転」とも呼ばれ縁起がよいのでお正月飾りとしても使われます。
実が美しいことは知られていますが実は紅葉も見事です。
