Near the entrance, we have installed manryō 万両 (Ardesia crenata or “coralberry”). The name “manryō” signifies ten thousand ryō, a gold coin in old Japan. We have also planted senryō 千両 (Sarcandra glaber a.k.a. Chloranthus glabra) at the sleeve fence near the Tea House and near the shelter in the Natural Garden. Senryō signifies one thousand ryō.
These two auspicious plants are considered to favor good fortune.
Manryō and senryō starts.
