Manjushaka

曼珠沙華  Manjushaka – Tadao Sawai (1986)

Manjushaka is generally known as the name of the cluster amarylilis . However it is originally a Buddhist term meaning imaginary flowers blooming in the heaven. The  Manjushaka that blooms on earth are as beautiful as the one in the heaven. They gregariously burst into blossom and turn the fields red. When you pick them up the deep red of the delicate petal is as passionate as one’s heart.
