Osmanthus is a plant that represents autumn in Asia.
And it has such a delicate fragrance that people are attracted.
Nowadays, it is well known all over the world starting from China.
The species of osmanthus is the Oleaceae family and is an evergreen small tree.
It is also being classified as a variant of silver osmanthus.
The universal name osmanthus comes from the Greek.
The place of origin is Asia.
Osmanthus range spreads from Assam, Cambodia, China North-Central, China South-Central, China Southeast, East Himalaya, Hainan, Japan, Myanmar, Nepal, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, West Himalaya, Korea, and Mariana Islands.
Osmanthus breed as an evergreen tree or shrub with no turn red.
Tree height is about 10 to 20 feet (from 3 to 6 meters) in general.
The leaf is evergreen, a plant that leaves green through the years, glossy and dark green.
From summer to fall, osmanthus blooms with the flower.
The petals are four-petalled and the flowers are small and about 5mm.
The flower colours are creamy-white or orange and strongly smells sweet.
Uses and benefits
Commonly, osmanthus are prefered as garden tree and street tree and it is popular as an ornamental plant because osmanthus is a plant that admires flowers, not fruits.
However, osmanthus flowers also have the effect of medicine.
Furthermore, they are used in perfumery and cooking.
Moreover, the flowers have various uses such as hair care, skin care, cosmetics, fragrance and so on.
Bark from the stems has components that tones the skin problem and essential oils from the plant are effective as a medicine that repels insects.
Osmanthus roots also are effective for treatment of rheumatism, bruising and dysmenorrhea.
In east China, osmanthus is used to make honey, tea, jam, liquor and desserts, and is also used as a spice to add a bit of fragrance and color to cuisine.
By drinking and eating osmanthus, you can help in losing weight.
Osmanthus has long been planted in Asian countries other than China because it has variable uses and benefits as worthy flowers.
The history of osmanthus goes back to in 1789, an osmanthus specimen was launched to the Kew Gardens, which is located in England as a botanical garden.
However, the specimen is from Southern China, so it was unable to survive the cool English climate.
In the 18th century, Jean Marie Delavay, who was a French botanist, traveled China.
And he explained some kinds of specimens after he brought them back to his country.
Among them, there were specimens including osmanthus.
In the mid-19th century, Delavay re-introduced osmanthus to European gardeners.
Osmanthus have multiple flower languages such as humility, noble people, truth, and  temptation.
Osmanthus give off a strong fragrance but the flowers are small and discreet.
From this aspect, osmanthus was connected with the flower language that is “humility”.
Also, “noble” meaning is originally having or indicating high personal qualities.
So, osmanthus fragrance was considered as elegant and noble from long ago.
Moreover, the unique sweet fragrance emitted by osmanthus gives the impression of tempting someone as is the case many people like the fragrance.
As a consequence, it is said that this flower language came from the image of attracting people.
How to grow osmanthus
Osmanthus are easy to treat and care for because it has winter hardiness, drought resistance, and insect resistance.
Osmanthus can grow up in any good garden soil.
However, watery and well-drained soil is the best.
It needs sunlight as much as possible but the necessity of watering is not many.
Like this, osmanthus is a plant that anyone can easily grow.

The Drifters is a Japanese music band and comedy group.
They were active as a music band until 1969, and afterwards, they were mainly active as a comedy group.
Their TV show called Hachijidayo, Zen'inshugo was a big hit, and many people from children to adults had seen it.
Current membe

The Drifters is known as a comedy group, and the members are Kato, Nakamoto and Takagi currently.
However, It was originally a music band, and far from owarai.
It was formed as a band in 1956.
The first leader was Kiyoshi Kishibe and the second leader was Teruo Sakurai.
Teruo was active as leader, but he wanted to change the band to a comic band that entertains the audience with funny lyrics and gestures rather than playing music, therefore he recommended Ikariya who was active in the other band at that time and was also focusing on owarai as the third leader.
The early band members had a lot of rapid changes because there was a band transfer culture at that time.
Even Ikariya didn’t understand who the early members were.
Since he became the third leader, the group changed into a comic band.
Additionally, he was a perfectionist, and too strict, so four members withdrew from The Drifters because they detested his teaching and comic band.
After then, only Ikariya and Kato remained, and he gathered Arai, Takagi and Nakamoto from the other band hurriedly.
New The Drifters was formed with them in 1964.
Subsequently, the activities of the group centered on owarai.
However, Arai left the group, and Shimura joined in 1974 instead of him.
After becoming new The Drifters, the members were fixed, and the group was composed of five members.
They gained popularity in a TV program called Hachijidayo, Zen'inshugo.
Musical and comedy styles
New The Drifters was a comic band, and they sang mainly cover versions and parodies of songs that had been sung in Japan.
They played as an opening act for the concert of The Beatles that was popular with people all over the world for only about one minute.
They got people’s attention because they performed not on stage for the opening act, but on the main stage.
After becoming new The Drifters,  they mainly acted as comedians, but the music activities continued without hiatusing.
Comedy style
The Drifters created many patterns made use of the group.
There were many vulgar skits such as script wasting food such as watermelon and milk.
Also, there were many musical scripts and they devoted themselves to jokes.
Takagi was the center of laughter in the group, but Kato became the center of comedy skits after a few months.
Although the others improvised on TV, The Drifters created a completely calculated story without improvising.
After Shimura joined, it changed into a comedy style in which Ikaria was swayed by members of indecent roles.
Shimura sometimes improvised on the stage, ignoring Ikariya’s teaching.
Hachijidayo, Zen'inshugo was broadcasted on TBS from 1969 to 1985 with 803 episodes, and made them famous.
The Drifters did comedy skits and sang songs including cover versions and parodies in front of audiences.
It became a hit and recorded an average audience rating over 40%, and highest audience rating 50.5%.
They won 12th Japan Record Awards Mass Award in 1970, Japan Music Awards, Comedy Honor Award in 2012 and top 10 in the record chart, and sold 1.15 million albums.

There is a long road called Nakasendo in Japan.
Nakasendo is a road that is one of the five major highways in the Edo period, and is a highway that connects Nihonbashi in Edo and Sanjo Ohashi in Kyoto via inland.
Narai-juku is a post-town located right in the middle of the Nakasendo.
Narai-juku is the place that is the longest historic post-town in Japan, forming a townscape for about 1 km while gently descending along the Narai river.
Also, Narai-juku was bustling with many people as a post-town in the middle of the 16 century.
It was rebuilt as a modern Narai-juku in 1601 with the establishment of a post-town by Edo Shogunate.
In this way, Narai-juku was very prosperous during the Edo period.
In particular, the procession of the prestigious "Ochatsubo Dochu", which carried tea for the Tokugawa Shogunate from Uji in Kyoto to Edo Castle, has become a very famous event in this place.
Narai-juku is in Shiojiri city in Nagano prefecture.
It is located in the west of Nagano prefecture.
The cityscape is formed on a road of about 1km.
This place is a village that is created under a marine terrace (a terrace formed along a seashore by the merging of wave-cut and wave-built terraces) at an altitude of 900 meters.
Narai-juku is located under a marine terrace so the temperature difference between summer and winter is large.
According to the data from Google, the highest temperature is 28 degrees in August and the lowest temperature is -8 degrees in January.
There is a lot of nature around Narai-juku, so the visitors can enjoy the colors of nature that change with each season.
In spring, there are many cherry blossoms.
In summer there are many green trees.
In autumn, there are autumn leaves.
In winter, there is a lot of snow.
The population of Narai-juku in 1843 was 2,155, with 409 houses, one Honjin and one Wakihonjin, and five inns.
It is currently merged with Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture.
However, the population of Narai-juku is declining and aging.
Narai Shukuba Festival
The Narai Shukuba Festival is a festival that recreates the teapots that were held during the Edo period.
At that time, the Ochabo Dochu had a great deal of authority and scale.
Since it faithfully reproduces it, visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of that time along with the old townscape of Narai-juku.
Summer Festival (Shizu Shrine annual Festival)
In 1618, a plague called "Sukumi" became prevalent in Narai-juku.
To quell this plague, the people of Narai-juku invited Futsunushi (It is a god of martial arts that appears in the Nihon Shoki, and brings you good luck such as victory luck, traffic and avoiding misfortune.)
from Katori Shrine in Shimousa (now Chiba Prefecture) to start a ritual.
This is said to be the origin of this festival.
Every year after noon on August 12, Wakashu (young man) dedicates a musical accompaniment at Shizu Shrine and walks north through the post town while playing a musical accompaniment (Music that is added to enhance the atmosphere (in Nogaku, Kabuki, etc).
The houses along the road entertain the Wakashu with alcohol and food after the music is dedicated.
Ice Candle Festival
It is a festival where you can see a fantastic view of about 2,000 handmade ice candles lit in the old townscape, which was selected as an important traditional buildings preservation district of the country.
It is held once a year on the day of Setsubun on February 3rd.
Oyaki is a local dish of Shinshu.
Wheat flour is kneaded with water, and various delicacies such as Nozawana are wrapped and steamed.
Oyaki goes well with any ingredients, so you can add sweets to make it a snack, or add side dishes to eat as a staple food.

Traditional items
Kiso Shikki
Kiso Shikki is lacquerware.
The unique climate of Narai-juku, where summers are cool and winters are harsh and cold, is good for the lacquer work environment.
In addition, large forests rich in nature nurture good wood and are blessed with two favorable environments, one is the climate and another is that there are the main roads which can carry trees to this place in terms of transportation.
Against this background, Kiso lacquerware continues to be made and has become a traditional item.
Mage Mono
Divide the grain of Kiso cypress into an appropriate thickness, boil it in boiling water to soften the wood, bend it into a circle or oval, and sew it with the bark of mountain cherry blossoms.
Bent products are finished by fitting the bottom plate and then applying lacquer.
These are Mage Mono.
Typical examples are tubs, barrels, and lunch boxes.
