This time, the flowers are "cattail spikes, small chrysanthemums, and chestnut burrs."

The cattail spikes, reminiscent of the legend of the White Rabbit of Inaba, are striking.

Children's song "Daikoku-sama"

Lyrics by Kazusaburo Ishihara, Music by Torazo Tamura

1. When Daikoku-sama approaches with a large bag slung over his shoulder...

Here is the White Rabbit of Inaba, skinned and naked.
2. Daikoku-sama took pity on himself and washed himself in clean water.

I taught them very carefully to wrap themselves in the cattail fluff.
3. As Daikoku-sama instructed, I washed myself in clean water.

Wrapped in cattail fluff, the rabbit returns to its original white form.
4. Who is Daikoku-sama? He is said to be Okuninushi-no-Mikoto.

God who opened the country and saved the people of the world.
