What is the 72nd candidate “Sakae Serino”?

 

 





Serinosakae is the season when the Japanese parsley, known as one of the seven herbs, grows along the banks of water such as footpaths, rice paddies, and streams. The word "nochisakae" means "to grow well."

 

 

There is also a plant called ``Seri-picking princess'' that has a connection with Prince Shotoku. It is said that once upon a time when the prince was on a pilgrimage, there was a girl who was alone picking chrysanthemums while many people gathered to see the prince. The prince was so impressed by the girl that he was unable to see her go because she was picking her cherries for her sick mother, and she later became the prince's ``Zenfuhime''. Apparently there is a Cinderella story where she became a princess.
