On the slope of the embankment, a grape-colored droplet sits quietly, yet with a definite presence.
The muscari flower is like a fragment of a star that fell from the edge of the galaxy, transformed into a tiny bell shape, and gently drifted down to this earth.
When a shrine maiden performs a sacred dance, one can almost feel the clear and mystical sounds emanating from the sacred bells she holds in her hand.
The tiny flowers, emitting a lapis lazuli-colored light, stand quietly yet nobly on the spring embankment of the northern country.
Just looking at it makes your heart feel lighter. The tension in your shoulders melts away. This little flower possesses such a mysterious healing power.
Today, too, the sapphire-blue glow of the muscari flowers quietly illuminates the hearts of people all over the world.
