ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

Something useless often makes us merry. Take the title of an old film "Once in a Blue Moon" for example. It was a love comedy happened in the Empire State Building in Manhattan. The title was translated "Tsuki Aoku-shite" in Japanese, of which literary meaning is "As the Moon is Blue". Japanese title is obviously an error, but the error must be intended, and I consider it excellent. In this site, I'm going to show you somothing that may happen once in a blue moon.

Manjushage or higanbana is known of its red blossoms. In some part of Japan one calls it kajibana, namely a fire-flower from its color and shape. But among red lycorises there are white ones.
