The sacred bamboo (Nandina domestica) is native to China, came to Japan before the 16th century, and is now found across the country. The plant is called '
nanten' (南天) in Japanese—an abbreviation of
Nantendjiku, meaning 'Southern India'—because it was believed to have come from there. The term
nanten can also be written with the kanji 難転, which means 'turning away misfortune.' Because of this wordplay, the sacred bamboo is traditionally used in Japanese New Year decorations.
The sacred bamboo is known for its beautiful red berries, but its leaves also turn a gorgeous red 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。
