Alright, happy reading.

 (posted; Japanese culture page)
* We call Antirrhinum "kingyosou; 金魚草".  Literally means "goldfish flower" * 
     (I'll write the derivation of the name at the bottom.)

Through my cousin's Facebook, I learned about the display of "Lantern of Goldfish" at the Airport in my city. Rushed to go there to take pictures p;)   One of the cities in my prefecture (Yanai-city) has "goldfish lantern festival". It was originated through the idea of famous festival called Nebuta Matsuri and used the city's dyeing technique to make them. The lantern became its city's folk-craft article. Although I've never seen the festival, at least I could feel the atmosphere.

At almost all the festival, you find stalls which sell goldfish by scooping like this.

Antirrhinum was introduced into Japan late Edo-Period and became really popular.  

Through PC, I found 2 theories of naming the flower goldfish.

    * Antirrhinum's petal looks like puckered lips of the goldfish.

    * The whole shape of the flower look like goldfish's tail fin.

                          Haha, I don't know if you agree with these or not.

            

Thank you SO much for stopping by;  linking this post to  "Our World Tuesday".
