A Flower that Bridges the Sky and Earth


Maiden of Wisteria

Once upon a time, the descendants of celestial maidens alighted from the heavens.

Blessed with beautiful and mysterious powers, they lived their lives traveling between the sky and earth.
They soared the skies, listening to the wind’s whispers and the cloud’s dreams,
and they shared their joys with the beasts and spirits of the mountains.
Where the flowers bloomed, their smiles shined upon them,
and where it rained, their songs resonated in unison.

One day they came upon a village infested with demons and begrudged souls...
They saw the ground frozen over, people suffering from the cold and hunger,
and a giant tree that died many years ago.

The benevolent descendants of the maiden called upon a shimmering myriad of flowers, falling like rain over the village.
The rain cleansed the land of bitterness, and brought warm wind in its wake.
Birds sang as fresh shrubs and blooming flowers made the village awash with color.
It was as if an eternal spring permeated the land.

With a grateful heart, the people of the village asked them to stay.
After planting a young wisteria next to the dead tree,
the maiden’s descendants told the wisteria:

“You are our most special gift to this village.
Protect this place while we are gone,
and always deliver hope to the people, as you have felt today.”

As soon as the wisteria heard these words, it grew along the dead tree
and bloomed an array of light pink flowers.
Such beautiful flowers could not be found anywhere else.

Ever since, the villagers have treasured this tree
and have passed this story on for generations upon generations.

"A flower that bridges the sky and earth. Wherever it comes to linger, spring follows."

May they bloom across this world just as these flowers have.
