Meet the bush clover

Bush clover, known as Hagi in Japan, is one of the Seven Autumn Flowers (Aki no Nanakusa) and one of the most celebrated plants in classical Japanese poetry. Its long, arching branches sway under the weight of countless small pink-purple blossoms each September, a familiar sign that autumn has arrived. The graceful, drooping form is soothing to trace and color.

Bush clover, or Hagi, is one of Japan's Seven Autumn Flowers and has been a favorite subject of poets for over a thousand years — it appears more often in the classical Man'yōshū poetry collection than any other plant. Its slender branches arch gracefully under clusters of small pink-purple blossoms, a familiar and much-loved sign of early autumn across Japan.

Why Coloring Is Great for Seniors

Coloring is recognized in many healthcare and care settings as an effective activity for cognitive maintenance and dementia prevention. Moving your fingers, thinking about colors, and experiencing the satisfaction of a finished artwork simultaneously engages multiple areas of the brain. Okiraku's designs are crafted with adult dignity in mind — complex enough to be engaging, clear enough to be accessible.
