In Agui, the original species of Japanese Iris "Iris ensanta" is called "Hanakatsumi."
Legend has it that during the Battle of Okehazama, Odai no Kata prayed for Tokugawa Ieyasu's long-lasting good fortune in battle and offered the name "Hanakatsumi," for "katsu" which means to "win," to a Buddhist altar.
Take a stroll along the promenade and enjoy the beautifully vivid dark purple Hanakatsumi flowers. (Best time to see them is in mid-June)
