毬里夢 まりむ






阿寒湖有这么一个传说。

在遥远的古时候,
一对阿伊努族的男女,
因身份的差异,
不被社会所接受。

深秋的月夜里,
他们一起跳入
深不可测的阿寒湖里。

村民打捞了许久,
却始终找不到他们的尸体。

从此,
阿寒湖底
出现了一种绿色藻球。

有人说,
那是殉情的男女
所变成的。

就这样,
凄美的传说
一直流传下去。

according to the ainus, malimo takes time to grow.

on an average, they grow by 1cm every year.

needs plenty of patience. :)

I bought this when I was in Japan.... I even bought some special stones that was supposed to be added to the water to give it nutrients.... But it turned yellow in the end so i pressume it must have died loh
