Hanakotoba in Hitomebore (一目惚れ) - Chihayafuru (ちはやふる) ED3

Chihaya Ayase 綾瀬千早 | Cosmos 宇宙

The Cosmos flower is known as Kosumosu (宇宙) in Japan and typically blooms from June to November. The Cosmos flower's name is derived from the Greek word "Kosmos" meaning harmony and order. This has contributed to the flower coming to symbolise harmony, beauty and peace. The delicate and clean appearance of the Cosmos flower has contributed towards it additionally symbolizing cleanliness, purity, beauty and modesty. The Cosmos flower is also said to represent a maiden's sincerity, heart as well as "the joys that love and life can bring".

Chihaya is best described as a tomboyish, outgoing and ambitious girl who is good-natured, easy-going and straightforward. This fits in with the Cosmos' meanings of harmony, purity and sincerity. She can be described as simple-minded as she is generally relatively absent-minded and oblivious (especially to the feelings of others)—however she remains very optimistic, driven and trusting. This resonates with Cosmos flower representing the heart as well as the "joys that love, and life can bring". Although Chihaya is described as being pretty, fitting in with the flower's meaning of beauty, she is often labeled as a "beauty in vain". This description stems from the fact that her overly energetic attitude and tomboyish behavior doesn't "match" with her looks.

Taichi Mashima 真島太一 | Red Spider Lily 彼岸花

Lycoris radiata (Red Spider Lily) is called Higanbana (彼岸花) in Japan. This name stems from the flower's flowering period coinciding with the equinoctial week of autumn. The plant's poisonous nature is also speculated to have contributed towards it's name—as "Higan" also means death—as well as its meaning. The Higanbana is said to symbolize death, final goodbyes, lost or sad memories, abandonment and giving up. While the flower mostly bares ominous connotations—its bright, red colour has contributed towards it being considered as auspicious sign and "celestial flower". It thus also represents passion and independence.

While Taichi is viewed by others as a smart, talented and hard-working individual—he is somewhat easily disheartened. When faced with difficult situations, he often under-estimates himself and considers giving up—especially in regard to karuta and his rivalry with Arata. This fits in with the Higanbana's meanings of loss and giving up. However, his confidence grows as he continues to play karuta and he grows into a strong adversary, having gained everything through his own skill and hard work rather than luck. These qualities resonate with the red spider lily's meanings of passion and independence. After confessing his long-standing, romantic feelings for his childhood friend, Chihaya, he quits their school karuta club. This ties in with the flower's meanings of abandonment and parting.

Arata Wataya 綿谷新 | Wisteria 藤

Wisteria is known as Fuji (藤) in Japan and generally flowers from April to May. The flower is said to mainly symbolize longevity, immortality and nobility in Japanese culture. Wisteria can also represent honour, endurance, wisdom, steadfastness and support. Other meanings include kindness, tenderness and sensitivity. The plant's tendency to grip tightly to trees in order to grow up straight has led to it coming to mean an unwillingness to let go or being drunk in love.

Arata is best described as being kind, caring, quiet and passionate about playing karuta. This resonates with the flower's meanings of kindness and tenderness. He is incredibly intelligent and serious. Although he is somewhat lacking in confidence is not meek. This fits with Wisteria's meanings of wisdom, steadfastness, support. Arata is shown to be relatively perceptive having figured out Taichi's feelings for Chihaya and although he is Taichi's rival he willingly kept the fact that Taichi tried to sabotage him in their elementary school karuta match a secret from her in order to maintain Taichi's standing in her eyes. This fits in with the flower's meanings of honour, sensitivity, support kindness and tenderness. In the karuta world Arata is somewhat considered nobility as his grandfather was a master which ties in with Wisteria's association with nobility. Despite not getting an answer from Chihaya after his confession, he remains patient and when she later clarifies that she isn't currently focused on love but is instead devoted to karuta; he decides to wait until she is ready declaring that he will "try again". This resonates with Wisteria's meanings of steadfastness, sensitivity and an unwillingness to let go.

P.S:

Cherry Blossoms are known as Sakura (桜) in Japan and are considered the nation's de facto national flower. The flower is an important part of Japanese culture and thus bares many meanings Generally cherry blossoms are said to represent the gentleness, spiritual beauty and good education. They bloom for an incredibly short period of time anywhere from March to April. Since cherry blossoms bloom after the cold, harsh winter; they herald the coming of spring and represent hope, renewal and optimism. The fleeting yet incredible splendor beauty of this flower has given inspired it's notable meanings of the "acceptance of destiny and karma" as well as the "transience of life".

P.S.S: I left a funny short story about why it took me so long to do this post in the tags but there is a spoiler for the manga about the endgame ship in it ... Also, this is only based on developments in the anime as well as the limited spoilers I've come across—since I haven't read the manga...

[If you liked this post, check out my other hanakotoba analysis posts here ❀ Also, if there's a particular anime, opening or ending—with some flower symbolism in it—that you want me to do a post on, send me an ask and I'll gladly do it if I've seen the show. ]

Does anyone else like Chihayafuru?

I usually dislike sport anime, but something about this one really made me like it.

Since there isn't a huge fanbase for the show, I decided to make my own lil Karuta charm! It's a reversible 2.5" wooden charm with Chihaya on the front, and her card verse on the back!

Get it here!

Or here on Etsy!

Karuta is a card-matching game played with a deck that is split between two types of cards. The first half, yomifuda ("reading cards"), often feature poems or proverbs, and the second half, torifuda, ("grabbing cards") feature a matching illustration, or the final lines/words of the text on the yomifuda. To play, reading cards are randomly drawn and read aloud by a designated reader/referee, and players try to find the matching card before their opponent does.

#karuta #this game is pretty old so it has fifty hundred billion names/variations sorry #card games #we played a variant of this in japanese class when i was like 6 #i sucked at it #polls

I heard the news about Chihayafuru..

I see that Karuta keeps it alive,

Karuta & hyakunin Isshu.... nothing else really ....

I should have moved on right?

I didn’t..

...

Just a few weeks after the end of the manga, mom was diagnosed with “dementia” and suddenly, I didn't know how to live anymore..

“dementia”…

A word I never cared about until I read it in Chihayafuru, it was an interesting “idea” in a fictional story,

Later I realized that it’s “utter hell” and Suetsugu did a very...not good job in using the “interesting idea” with one of her main characters.

sad, because she seemed to me more..brilliant.

I shared this with my therapist and he made me -among other things- look at some pages from Chihayafuru a lot, he told me to talk about it and face it because they are horrifying & traumatizing to me now ...

it's not just about karuta... dementia ...is slow torture ... for both patients and caregivers ....

I lost track of time & I didn’t realize it’s another November already..

November, the "WatanoharaYa" month of the year, I call it like that, it’s Arata’s month for me ..

I always said that I didn't relate to Arata, now he is more then relatable, he became a hero in my eyes ...

I can't move on & I don't want to...

And I definitely did not move on from Arachiha/chiharata either ...

Although my sentiment about Chihayafuru remains the same as before

but I kept loving what I could love, I made some new edits which I wanted to share during this month so i'll probably do.. but maybe later

And I hope I can make something happy for Arata's birthday too ....

-Admin Rawaa.
