Honeysuckle (nindoo, suikazura)

***** Location: Japan
***** Season: Various, see below
***** Category: Plant

*****************************
Explanation

kigo for early summer

suikazura no hana 忍冬の花 (すいかずらのはな)

suikazura 吸葛（すいかずら）
kinginka 金銀花（きんぎんか）"gold silver flower"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

quote
Nindo or suikazura (honeysuckle)

The honeysuckle;
With every petal that falls,
The voice of the gnats.

Yosa Buson (1716-83)
translated by R.H. Blyth

The Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)
blooms from early summer to autumn and, like honeysuckles around the world, can be found twining through light woodlands and hedgerows or perfuming a trellis in the garden. Although its blooms are simple and short-lived, honeysuckle is a magical flower of the night, opening its pale silvery buds at dusk.

The silvery color and delicious perfume are designed to attract moths, which pollinate the flowers as they sip nectar from the base of the blooms. However, daytime bees will occasionally nip a small hole in the tube and "steal" the nectar without brushing past the pollen!



Another Japanese name for honeysuckle is kinginbana, meaning "gold-and-silver flower," as the blooms turn from silvery white to pale gold.

Gardeners also like the western honeysuckle (L. sempervirens), which has clusters of colorful pink buds that open to pale yellow. In Japanese this species is called tsukinukinindo, meaning "pierced honeysuckle," because the stem appears to pierce through its clasping leaves.

I found the honeysuckle above growing in a cascade of flowers in an English hedgerow, and even after keeping the sprigs in a vase for a week, new buds were still opening and sending out an exquisite perfume, especially at night.

honeysuckle wine 忍冬酒

A drink beloved by Tokugawa Ieyasu ...
to relax in the evening and sleep well.
徳川家康も愛した幻のお酒忍冬酒（にんどうしゅ）

In the Edo period, the production of this wine was only taught from father to son, it was a top secret family tradition.
The base is a sweet mirin from mikan mandarins of Mikawa, Aichi prefecture.

Yosa Buson 蕪村 with other translations

蚊の声す忍冬の花の散るたびに　
ka no koe su nindoo no hana chiru goto ni

The honeysuckle;
With every petal that falls,
The voice of the gnats.

The voices of mosquitoes,
Whenever the flower of the honeysuckle
Falls.

Of the nindou, Blyth writes:
"The nindou is not a very striking flower, white, and afterwards becoming yellowish. It does not fade in winter, and from this comes its name, "enduring winter.""

"Of all sounds, the voice of the mosquito is the most mysterious, of deeply subtle meaning. Of all flowers, the whitish-yellow 'nindou' is the most forlorn. Each time the voice of the gnats is noticed, the flowers become more remotely near. Each time a flower falls, the sound of the gnats is more profound in the heart."

"The 'nindou' is not a very striking flower... The voice of the mosquito also is very small indeed, not to be heard far away from the ear. We have in this verse two hardly noticeable things, yet they and their chance relationship are clearly perceived and expressed."
Blyth



Mosquitoes humming
each time a honeysuckle flower
falls from the vine.
Tr. Sawa & Shiffert:



ka no koe　蚊の声　the "voice" of a mosquito
. The voice of an animal .
