crow dipper ; カラスビシャク（烏柄杓）; (半夏)
Eleven days have passed since summer solstice.
We name a few days 'Ha-n-ge-sho'.
A year is divided into 24 and we call it seasonal datum points; 節気.
Each of the seasonal datum points is divided into 3 and we call it Ko-u ;候.
As a result there are 72 Ko-u in a year.
'Ha-n-ge-shyo-u' is one of them.
By the way, crow dipper grows about this time of the year.
So we call the days 'Ha-n-ge-sho'.
I took the picture of crow dipper in my yard.
