Abstract

When Taro visited his grandfather's house, he found a beautiful flower in the garden. "That flower's name is Himejyoon." The flower, which Grandpa told him the name of, was a weed flower that had grown up without anyone's seed. "Each weed have own name."He taught Taro the names of all the weeds growing in his garden one by one. The beautifully embroidered picture beautifully captures the characteristics of the weeds and flowers.
