Incised Fumewort (Corydalis Incisa) ムラサキケマン(紫華鬘)

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Spring brings unexpected surprises, such as these incised fumeworts (Corydalis incisa). A week ago, there was nothing there and today I found them like popping up from nowhere. Its Japanese name is murasaki keman, meaning "purple keman." The thing is the term "keman" is Japanese, but I (and maybe many Japanese should) have no idea of what it is. A keman is a Buddhist ritual decoration and the plant was named as such after the shape, which is said to resemble that of a keman. I hope you will find some resemblance between the flower shape and that of a keman. I couldn't.
