There are a variety of dock (Rumex) and those in these photos are some of them. I first tried to identify them like Japanese dock, spinach dock, common sorrel, etc., but gave up. Too many types and too subtle the differences are😂. But finding so many people discussing how to identify each dock on websites shows that the dock is loved around the world including Japan!
From a distance, the dock is just green leaves (or just weeds) but when looked closely, the plant shows tiny but beautiful cream/red perianth. The Japanese name of most types of dock contains the term "gishi gishi," which is Onomatopoeia, after the sound produced when the stems are rubbed (which I haven't tried).

いろんなギシギシ(羊蹄)です。最初は、ギシギシ、ナガバギシギシ、アレチギシギシなど、種類ごとに区別しようと思ったのですがあきらめました。違いが分からない。。。 でも遠目にはただの葉っぱのことを世界中の人がこんなに熱く語るということは、ギシギシって愛されているのね。近くに寄ると見えるクリーム色と赤い粒々は花被です。
ギシギシの名前の由来は茎をこすり合わせると「ギシギシ」という音がするからとのこと。ホントかな。。。
