てんとう虫
ドクダミの上
地獄蕎麦

A ladybug
On the doku-dami (Houttuynia cordata)
Jigoku-Soba (hell-buckwheat noodle)

ウィキペディアで「ドクダミ」のことを調べたら、別名が幾つかあってその中の一つが、「地獄蕎麦」でした。名付けたヒトはどういう発想からなんでしょうねぇ。雑草として扱われがちで実際繁殖力も強く、今の時期アチコチで見掛けますが、薬草やお茶にもなったりしているのに、この「地獄蕎麦」とは、これいかに？

I checked it out on Wikipedia, it has some another names, one of them is Jigoku-Soba. What things did a person who named it get for the name? Doku-Dami would treat as weed, honesty, they are now blooming and in season, it's easy to get many groups anywhere. But it used to be used as herb and we still drink as tea, why was it called "Jigoku-soba"??
