My wife and I went to Hidaka-city, Saitama
prefecture at the end of September to see 5 Million Red Spider Lilies.Hidaka-city has many names with KOMA attached,
such as KOMA shrine, KOMA station and KOMA river.
Why?
Let’s study history!
From the 4th Century to the 7th
Century, the three countries of the Korean Peninsula, KOMA, SHIRAGI and KUDARA were fighting for hegemony. Finally, SHIRAGI unified the Peninsula.
Many people fled to Japan from defeated KOMA and KUDARA. Although many refugees fled to
Japan, they conveyed the latest technology and culture to Japan.
The Yamato Imperial Court in Japan treated
them cordially. The people of KOMA lived in seven different places, so Japan
made county in Hidaka district and gathered them together in one place. Their
lives had stabilized and the development of the Hidaka region has
progressed. So we can understand why the name of KOMA
is often in Hidaka-city.
In the center of Hidaka-city there is a
park named Kinchakuda. “Kinchaku” means pouch, “da” means field. Overall the
shape of the park resembles a pouch. It is a figure that the river meanders. During the fall equinox, we enjoyed having
roughly 5 million red spider lilies blooming.
