丑の刻参り / グーグルAIによる概要抜粋
「丑の刻参り(うしのこくまいり)」とは、丑の刻(午前1時~3時頃)に神社の御神木に憎い相手に見立てた藁人形を釘で打ち付け、呪詛(じゅそ)する日本に古くから伝わる呪術です。白装束をまとい、頭に灯したロウソクを立てた鉄輪(かなわ)をかぶる姿が典型とされています。 

丑の刻参りの詳細と歴史

1. 本来の意味と起源

もともと丑の刻参りは、京都の貴船神社などに伝わる「願掛け」の儀式でした。神が降臨したとされる「丑の年・丑の月・丑の日・丑の刻」に参拝すれば、願いが叶うという信仰が始まりです。

2. 呪いへの変化
時が経つにつれて、この神聖な時間が「誰かを呪い殺すための儀式」として捉えられるようになりました。
中世の文学作品(『平家物語』の「宇治の橋姫」伝説や、謡曲の『鉄輪』など)を通じて、嫉妬に狂った女性が鬼となって復讐を果たすための行為としてビジュアルや作法が固定化されていきました。 
3. 代表的な作法
江戸時代頃に確立された典型的な作法には、以下のようなものがあります。
* 装束: 白衣(白装束)を着用し、顔に朱を塗り、歯には鉄漿(おはぐろ)を塗る。

* 頭部: 頭に「五徳(ごとく)」と呼ばれる鉄製の器具を載せ、そこに3本のロウソクを立てる。

* 手順: 毎晩神社に通って藁人形を打ち付け、7日間(または満願となる日数)続ける。このとき、誰かに見られると効力が失われる、あるいは自分に跳ね返ってくると信じられていました。
 

アカデミア(薔薇)とメモワール(薔薇)

戒める(いましめる)為に話題に選んだ訳では有りません。
此の話が持つ夥しい綻び(おびただしい、ほころび)について、20年近く頭の隅で考え続けて居た成果を書こうと思ったからです。

兎に角こういった行為をすると、行っている本人が著しく正気を失い、いつまでも錯乱状態のまま戻れなくなる。
という戒める訓話のような話が現在も散見されます。
取り敢えず、呪う人物が全部女性なので、其れは何故・・・? とは感じていました。

さっきグーグルで検索するまで、これは貴船神社の評判を落とす為の悪質なデマである。と考えていたので、元々、貴船神社の願掛けの作法であったと有り、やはりそうかと、ほのぼのしています。
 
アカデミア(薔薇)
貴船神社に伝わる願掛けは、私達日本人がやるお百度参りに近いものだったのでしょうね。
ちなみにこの頃私の興味の対象であるキリスト教にも、メダイを使うノベナという9日間のお祈りが存在します。
こちらも特別な願いのためのお祈りです。

AIの結果に有る様に、最終的に何故呪術として相手を呪い殺すという方向に行ってしまったのかは分かりませんが、恰好がもう既に常軌を逸している服装を指定していますよね。

私はどんなことでもすぐ判断するという状況を、出来る限り避けるようにしています。
理由は、自分の判断の結果を自分で引き受ける為です。
 
此れもプリンシパルセオリーで取り上げるスタジオ訓練から来ています。
すぐ判断せねばならない状況になるべく入らないようにする。
そういった状況をそもそも発生させないように日常を過ごす様にしているので、天災や何年に一度しか起こらないアクシデント以外では、殆どそういうことがありません。

それ程の事でないと、すぐ判断する、という状況に入らないので、他者が「すぐ!」「早く!早く!今すぐ判断して!」と言い出したら、私はすぐその場を離れます。
離れるのが不可能なら、「出来ません」とだけ断ります。
 
アカデミア(薔薇)
私は、此の呪術になってしまった丑の刻参りの大体の順序を、大昔文章か何かで見知っているのですが、此れ、1つ1つ手順を進める毎に、冷静さを取り戻せるように作ってあるんですよね。
 
こんな常軌を逸した恰好のグッズをまず揃える所から、きっと丑の刻参りは始まる筈ですが。
その時点で、大体の怒りや恨みは、感情に飲み込まれている状態から、静かに我に帰り、通常の常識的な思考に戻れる筈なんです。
 
その上、私が大昔読んだやり方は、その恰好をして、刃物(包丁とか刀みたいなの)を唇に咥えて、鏡を夜中の2時に覗くという順序が存在します。
口紅はどうしてか分からないけれど、大きく鬼の口のように頬の真ん中あたりまではみ出し、笑っているように描かなければならないんだそうです。
 
さくや姫 (百合)

ちなみに日本では鬼は神様の一種です。
神通力を鬼神力(きしんりょく)と言いますので。

鏡に映った自分を覗いて、鬼に見えるかどうかを見るんでしょうけれど、どう考えても自分が大事になりますよね?
何をやってるんだろう? と思う筈なんですよ。

その上、7日間、家から当該の神社の隅か裏手に在る鎮守の森に分け入り(わけいり)、行く時と帰る時と藁人形を打ち込んでいる最中にも、金槌で釘を御神木に打ちつけるので音がしない筈は無いのですが、人に見られたらまた家を出る所からやり直しか、もうその事情の呪いは出来なくなるそうです。
 
呪う方の丑の刻参りを大切に思われている方には、大変申し訳無く思いながらも率直に書くと、
そんな恰好して、夜中の2時に、確か裸足じゃなきゃいけなかったような記憶もありますけれど、夜な夜な連続7日間に渡り、人気のない神社の奥の森に入って、人目を避けてなんか打ち込み続ける行為自体、その人が強盗に襲われそうですよね。
 
その場合、貴重品は持っているかどうか分かりませんが、実質、歩いてそんな遠くに行くわけですから、財布ぐらいは持っていくと思うし、夜更けですから念の為、緊急連絡先にすぐ連絡出来る様スマートフォンを持って行くと思うんです。
絶対に人に見られますよね。
帰りにタクシーに乗らずとも、夜中に寝そびれてカーテンの外を何とは無しに見る人だって、普通に居るんですから。

そんなにも苦労して、一体どうしたんですか? という恰好で、人に見られた場合は失敗って、見た人は色々心配のあまり通報する恰好で、本人だけが誰にも気づかれない様、細心の注意を払って居るのは呪いが無効になるかどうかだけ。
社会コミュニティの中で転落する以外、何者でもありませんよね。

どう考えても、相手を呪えるのでは無く、呪いを行うその人を、自分で呪うやり方ですよね。これって。
 
椿
そもそも成功例が未だ立証されていないようですね。
調べても出てきませんでした。
同じくGoogle AIの返した結果ですが、 
明治には、人を呪う行為自体、毒殺と同様の処罰対象だったらしいです。
それが牢屋に入れられる罪や犯罪として刑罰の対象となるものに変わったのは、明治途中の頃なんだそうです。

最初の呪殺を禁じる法律の刑罰は、毒殺を行った場合の刑罰と同じだったので、「ほら、毒殺と同じ刑だから、丑の刻参りは効果があるんだよ!呪いで人を殺した人が他に居るんだよ!」
と大騒ぎする厄介な人が当時も居たのでしょうね。
バカだろ、お前? と法律がより具体的な説明を伴うものに変わって行ったみたいです。

現代では、建造物侵入罪、器物破損、脅迫罪などに問われる可能性がある、とされていました。
ありがとう、Google AI。 

私見ながら、2026年に丑の刻参りを始め、貴方を呪っていますよ、とその行為を相手に伝えたり、釘を打ち込んだ藁人形(わらにんぎょう)を相手に送り付けたりすると、私はもう1ランク上の障害罪が適用されるのではないか? と、考えています。 
 
又、そんなものを見た相手の反応を陰から伺い続けるストーキング行為や、相手に汚れた気味の悪い物を送り付けて、自分にそんな物を送って来た相手は明らかに常軌を逸して居るぞ、と告げて相手を怯えさせる障害罪クラスのハラスメント、から発生する量刑が適用されるのでは無いでしょうか?

私個人の敬虔さで見ると、此れは日本特有の感覚でしょうか。
鏡は反射するものですから、跳ね返すという作用も持つイメージが日本では普通に存在します。
なので、呪う気持ち全開でそんな恰好をして鏡を真夜中にのぞけば、相手を呪う気持ちが自分自身に跳ね返って来るしくみになっていると言う、確かに本人の期待とは別の意味で、呪殺の法では在るようです。 

Google AIの答えの中に、興味深いものがありました。
現代社会に紛れ、呪い代行という商売があるんでしょうか?
それには詐欺罪が適用される可能性が有るそうです。

それってもう一つ、誰かをお金を払ってまでプロ(?)に依頼して呪って欲しかった人物が、その詐欺罪に問われる代行業者に、後々、強請られる(ゆすられる)可能性も高いですよね。

恨むのがいけないという考えは、私にはありません。
ただ、常識が基本姿勢の現代社会で、呪いという、効果があるとはとてもでは無いけれど判断し得ないものを、本気で有るとし、本気で他者に金銭を支払ってまで依頼しようとした人間は、明らかに常軌を失っている自覚が無い人物である、と私は判断します。
 
さくや姫 (百合)
元々貴船神社が持つ、12年1度の願掛けという由緒正しい聖なる儀式を、悪意のデマで台無しにしたのが始まりとされますが。
当時、その願掛けをディスる、もう1段階前の不敬と不遜の意思又は事実が存在したのでは無いでしょうか?
 
それに対し、貴船神社側と崇敬者(神社を信仰している町の人々)が困って居たのを知った当時の知恵者(ちえもの)が、此の丑の刻参りというデマを創作し、貴船神社をターゲットとする悪意に断固抗議したのではないか、と私は考えています。

何をやっても呪うという行為全てが無に帰する此の方法に、私は本来、貴船神社が大切にされて居る12年に1度の願掛けという美しい儀式と、その美しい願いの時間を大切に思う人達の淑やかな敬虔さ(けいけんさ)を台無しにして踏みにじる意思。
これは願掛けだから何を願っても良いのだ、とする、敬う(うやまう)心がかけらも無い、厚かましさと汚らしいものをもって、人々の清廉(せいれん)な信仰の価値を損なう悪意への、凄まじい抗議を感じます。

日本には古代から続くと予測される、明確に言語化せずに相手に伝える話法が存在します。
此の丑の刻参りという呪法について事細かに説明されて居る文章を全部読むと、一度も呪い殺せた事例について触れられておらず、実体が存在しない、現実には装着しようとする時点で矛盾と火傷が伴う(ともなう)、呪法の為だけのグッズの身に着け方と、成就(じょうじゅ:叶うこと)に向けた永久に無理でしかない実行法が書いてあります。

不可能である。
と言わずに語る好例です。

This is a series titled “RainScape Garden ☆” that offers a comprehensive interpretation of Japanese myths and legends—such as those featuring Yakumo—from a modern perspective and based on contemporary common sense.
The chapters continue with “Crow 1” and “Crow 2.”
This category and series originated from “The Rover.”

The Midnight Pilgrimage / Summary excerpt generated by Google AI
 
    “Ushi no Koku Mairi” is an ancient Japanese ritual in which, during the hour of the Ox (around 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.), a straw doll representing a hated person is nailed to a sacred tree at a shrine to cast a curse. The typical appearance involves wearing white robes and a metal ring (kanawa) on the head, with a lit candle placed inside it.

    Details and History of Ushinokoku Mairi

    1. Original Meaning and Origins

    Originally, the “Ushi no Koku Mairi” was a ritual for making wishes, as practiced at places like Kifune Shrine in Kyoto. It originated from the belief that if one visited the shrine during the “Year of the Ox, Month of the Ox, Day of the Ox, and Hour of the Ox”—times when the gods were said to descend—one’s wishes would be granted.

    2. The Shift to Cursing
    Over time, this sacred time came to be perceived as a “ritual for cursing someone to death.”
   
Through medieval literary works—such as the “Princess of the Uji Bridge” legend in *The Tale of the Heike* and the Noh play *Tetsuwane*—the visual imagery and rituals associated with this act became standardized as a means for women driven mad by jealousy to transform into demons and exact revenge.

    3. Typical Ritual Practices
    Typical practices established around the Edo period include the following:
    * Attire: Wearing white robes (shiro-sozoku), painting the face with vermilion, and applying iron oxide (ohaguro) to the teeth.

    * Head: Placing an iron device called a “Gotoku” on the head and setting three candles on it.

    * Procedure: Every night, the practitioner would visit the shrine to strike the straw doll, continuing this for seven days (or the number of days required to fulfill their wish). It was believed that if anyone saw this, the ritual’s effectiveness would be lost, or the curse would rebound upon the practitioner. 
Academia (Rose) and Memoir (Rose)
I didn’t choose this topic to serve as a cautionary tale.
Rather, I wanted to write about the results of nearly 20 years of pondering—in the back of my mind—the numerous flaws in this story.

In any case, stories that serve as cautionary tales—claiming that engaging in such behavior causes the person to lose their sanity to a significant degree and remain in a state of confusion forever, unable to return to normal—are still occasionally seen today.
For one thing, I had always wondered, “Why is it that all the people being cursed are women…?”

Until I searched Google just now, I had believed this to be a malicious rumor intended to tarnish the reputation of Kifune Shrine. So, learning that it was originally a ritual practice for making wishes at Kifune Shrine, I’m feeling quite heartened, thinking, “Ah, so that’s how it is.”

Academia (Rose)
The tradition of making wishes at Kifune Shrine was probably similar to the “100-times pilgrimage” that we Japanese practice.
Incidentally, in Christianity—which has been a subject of interest for me lately—there’s also a nine-day prayer called a “novena” that uses a medal.
This, too, is a prayer for a specific wish.

As the AI’s analysis suggests, I don’t know why it ultimately took the direction of using sorcery to curse someone to death, but it does specify attire that’s already completely out of the ordinary, doesn’t it?

I try to avoid situations where I have to make an immediate decision about anything as much as possible.
The reason is that I want to take full responsibility for the consequences of my own decisions.

This, too, stems from the studio training covered in the Principal Theory.
I try to avoid getting into situations where I have to make an immediate decision.
I live my daily life in a way that prevents such situations from arising in the first place, so aside from natural disasters or accidents that happen only once every few years, I rarely find myself in such a position.

Unless it’s something of that magnitude, I don’t find myself in a situation where I have to make an immediate decision, so if someone starts saying, “Right now!” or “Hurry! Hurry! Make a decision right now!” I immediately walk away.
If walking away isn’t possible, I simply decline by saying, “I can’t do that.”

 
Academia (Rose)
I’ve read about the general sequence of this “Ushi no Koku Mairi” ritual—which has turned into a form of sorcery—in some ancient text or something, but it’s designed so that with each step you take, you can regain your composure.

I suppose the “Ushi no Koku Mairi” must begin with gathering these bizarre-looking items.
At that point, most of the anger and resentment—which had previously been overwhelming your emotions—should subside, allowing you to quietly regain your composure and return to normal, rational thinking.

Furthermore, the method I read about long ago includes a step where, dressed in that outfit, you clench a blade (like a kitchen knife or sword) between your lips and gaze into a mirror at 2:00 a.m.
I don’t know why, but apparently, you have to apply lipstick so that it extends widely, like a demon’s mouth, all the way to the middle of your cheeks, making it look as if you’re smiling. 
 
Princess Sakuya (Yuri)
By the way, in Japan, ogres are considered a type of deity.
This is because supernatural powers are referred to as “ogre-god powers” (kishinryoku).

I suppose they look at their reflection in the mirror to see if they look like an ogre, but no matter how you look at it, they’re just worrying about themselves, aren’t they?
They must be thinking, “What on earth am I doing?”

On top of that, for seven days, you have to venture into the sacred grove—located in a corner or behind the shrine in question—and, whether on the way there or back, or even while hammering the straw doll, you’re driving nails into the sacred tree with a hammer. 
There’s no way that wouldn’t make a sound, but if someone sees you, you’ll have to start all over from leaving home, and apparently, the curse will no longer take effect.

To those who hold the “Ushi no Koku” pilgrimage in high regard, I feel terribly sorry to say this, but to be frank:
Dressed like that—and I seem to recall we had to go barefoot—venturing into the deep, deserted woods behind a shrine night after night for seven consecutive days, hammering away while avoiding prying eyes… the act itself makes it seem like that person is just asking to be mugged.

In that case, I don’t know if they’re carrying any valuables, but since they’re essentially walking that far, I’d think they’d at least bring a wallet. And since it’s late at night, just to be safe, I’d assume they’d bring a smartphone so they can contact emergency contacts right away.

They’re absolutely bound to be seen by someone.
Even if they don’t take a taxi home, there are plenty of people who happen to be awake late at night, lying in bed and casually glancing out the window.

If someone sees you looking like you’re going through all that trouble and asks, “What on earth are you doing?”—it’s a failure. 
 
The person who sees you will likely call the police out of concern, and the only thing left for the person casting the curse to worry about is whether the curse will actually work, while taking the utmost care to ensure no one notices them.
Other than falling from grace within the social community, that’s all it amounts to, isn’t it?

No matter how you look at it, this isn’t a way to curse the target—it’s a way to curse the person casting the curse themselves. Isn’t that right?

Camellia
It seems there are still no proven cases of success.
I couldn’t find any even after searching.
According to results provided by Google AI,
during the Meiji era, the act of cursing someone was apparently punishable in the same way as poisoning.
It wasn’t until the middle of the Meiji era that it became a crime punishable by imprisonment.

Since the punishment under the first law banning cursed killings was the same as that for poisoning, there were probably troublesome people back then who caused a huge commotion, saying, “See? Since the punishment is the same as for poisoning, the ‘Ushi no Koku Mairi’ ritual really works! There are other people who’ve killed others with curses!”
It seems the law gradually evolved to include more specific explanations, as if to say, “Are you stupid?”

In modern times, it’s been stated that such actions could result in charges of trespassing, property damage, or intimidation.
G-Thanks, Google AI.

In my personal opinion, if I were to start performing the “Ushi no Koku Mairi” ritual in 2026, tell the target, “I’m cursing you,” or send them a straw doll with nails driven into it, wouldn’t I be subject to a more serious charge of obstruction? That’s what I’m thinking.

Furthermore, wouldn’t the sentencing apply based on offenses such as stalking—where one continuously watches the target’s reaction to such items from the shadows—or harassment on the level of obstruction of justice, where one sends the target dirty, disgusting objects to instill fear by implying, “Anyone who sends me such things is clearly out of their mind”?

From my own personal perspective, is this a sensibility unique to Japan?
Since mirrors reflect, the idea that they also have the power to “bounce things back” is a common concept in Japan.

Therefore, if you dress in such a way with your heart full of malice and peer into a mirror at midnight, the curse you intend for the other person is designed to bounce back at you—so, in a sense different from what the person might expect, it does seem to function as a form of “curse-killing.”

I found something interesting in Google AI’s response.
Is there really a business in modern society that offers “curse-casting services”?
Apparently, such activities could be subject to fraud charges.

That raises another point: the person who paid a “professional” (?) to curse someone else is highly likely to be blackmailed later by the service provider who is charged with fraud.

I don’t believe that holding a grudge is inherently wrong.
However, in modern society—where common sense is the foundation—I believe that anyone who seriously believes in curses—something whose effectiveness is highly doubtful but impossible to definitively prove—and is willing to pay money to have someone else cast one on their behalf is clearly someone who lacks the self-awareness to realize they’ve lost their mind. 

Princess Sakuya (Yuri)
 
 
It is said that it all began when a malicious rumor ruined the time-honored, sacred ritual of making wishes at Kibune Shrine—a ceremony held once every 12 years.
But at that time, wasn’t there perhaps an even earlier level of disrespect and insolence—whether intentional or not—that disparaged this ritual?

In response to this, I believe that a wise person of that era—upon learning of the distress felt by the shrine authorities and the devotees (the townspeople who worshipped at the shrine)—invented this rumor about the “Ushi-no-koku Pilgrimage” as a resolute protest against the malice targeting Kifune Shrine.

In this method—where any act of cursing, no matter what is done, comes to naught—I see an intent to ruin and trample upon the beautiful ritual of making wishes once every 12 years, which Kifune Shrine holds dear, as well as the gentle piety of those who cherish that beautiful time of prayer.

I sense a fierce protest against this malice—which, with utter shamelessness and filth, claims that “since it’s a prayer ritual, you can wish for anything,” thereby undermining the value of people’s pure faith without a shred of reverence.

In Japan, there exists a style of communication—believed to date back to ancient times—that conveys meaning to others without explicitly putting it into words.

If you read the entire text that explains this “Ushi no Koku Mairi” curse ritual in detail, you’ll find that it never once mentions a single instance where someone was actually cursed to death. 
 
It describes how to wear items created solely for this curse—which have no real substance and, in reality, cause contradictions and burns the moment you attempt to put them on—along with methods for achieving the desired outcome that are, in reality, impossible to carry out.
 
The perfect example of how to discuss something without simply saying, 
“It’s impossible.”

私が好きなのは、A Plea (ア・プリー)でシングルカットもされています。





他に好きなのは、Maggot Brainです。



A Pleaですが、なんとMVまで存在します。

Phalaenopsis Orchid—Still in Bloom

I really love the jazz album released by Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In this jazz album, he produces a cool, crisp sound on the trumpet.
Thom Yorke of Radiohead also appears on a few tracks.

Apparently, the album *Honora* is named after Flea’s great-grandmother.
The album cover art features a portrait of his mother-in-law, Lady Shahin Badiyan. (From Wikipedia’s entry on *Honora*: https://w.wiki/MN6R)
 
My favorite track is “A Plea,” which was also released as a single.




Another one I like is *Maggot Brain*.






Believe it or not, there’s even a music video for “A Plea.”
When I watched the video, it vaguely reminded me of Benetton’s ads from the 1980s.

 A Plea by Flea (Official Music Video)
After watching,
I tried to organize my thoughts using the formula:
Advertisement = CINEMA / Music Video (MV)  ex: 1/2
 
If we make the music video the denominator of the fraction, then films (visual works) will always fall within the category of music videos.
Music + Story (Message) + Video / Visuals = If we treat music as the common element in these components, there are also entities that consist solely of video or visuals.
 
So, if we provisionally define “Advertisement = CINEMA / MV,” then even without music, CINEMA / MV would still possess the nature of an advertisement, wouldn’t it?
 
In that case, silence would also be considered a form of sound.
 
In my post on perfect pitch, I wrote about people who possess the gift of having music play automatically in their heads. 
But if silence is also sound, then it follows that the silence that exists before we put it into words is, in fact, music.
 
Personally, I feel and think within that silence—in the realm that exists before sounds take on the form of phonetic symbols or words.
Rather than turning that into sound, I usually put it into words, but that means every word that emerges from that silence is, in essence, music.
 
So, is this poetry? Well, of course it isn’t.
Poetry, as I currently understand it, is something that, just by reading it, makes music begin to play in the silent part of the heart, or conjures up images and scenes that linger forever.
 
So, is poetry advertising?
If we plug this into the diagram above:
Is poetry the output resulting from substituting the silent part with language?
Or
Is poetry itself that silent part,
and is it a message—taken on as a form—that says, “This is what I felt at the very beginning, extracted from the silent part with as little error as possible”?
 
In that case, since the message must be linked to the advertisement with an “=” sign—and silence alone doesn’t constitute music—it follows that poetry is, after all, an advertisement.
However, this means that only silent advertisements are poetry; naturally, poetry does not originally come with music.
 
At the beginning of the music video, in the darkness, Flea performs an avant-garde dance—a form of butoh—dancing only what he feels in that moment, capturing the fleeting instant that can never be repeated.
 
Eventually, a light resembling electricity begins to flicker, a mirror appears, and a studio-like space is revealed.
 
When creating the music video, listening to the sound triggers something within the mind to begin dancing; eventually, the self watching this (the creator of the music video) suddenly passes by, initiating a “RUN”—an expression based on a real-life event in America—as a message. 
 
The video concludes with the original music video creator presumably rushing over to help the self—who has fully reacted through visuals and emotion—back to their feet.
 
I suppose the credits would read: “This music video represents what one individual felt and recalled upon listening to ‘A Plea.’
 
Is there a sense somewhere that, as someone who cannot create music, I feel a bit inferior when faced with it?
It seems to convey that music only fulfills its true function when there is someone to listen to it.
 
I felt as though my own journey of emotional response—one I undertake every time I listen to music—had finally been acknowledged.
It was as if I’d watched a magnificent film or begun a book that would never end.
Enveloped in a lingering afterimage of sheer contentment,
I found myself gazing out the window, savoring the bright late afternoon of May 5, 2026, as it existed in the world.

鈴蘭

またFLOWERでお花を注文しました。
今度は鉢植えで鈴蘭です。
まったく知らないのですが、昔から好きな花だったので購入しました。
 
いまウィキペディアで調べたら、鈴蘭には君影草(きみかげそう)、谷間の姫百合(たにまのひめゆり)という別名があるそうです。 
蘭とありますが、ユリ科なんだそうです。
エゾスズランという同じ響きの名前がありますが、こちらのみラン科です。
Wikipedia エゾスズランより https://w.wiki/MYNx
 Qwert1234 - Qwert1234's file, CC 表示-継承 3.0, リンクによる
 
香水として利用される。聖なる香りと言われ、愛しい人にふりかけると振り向いてくれるという言い伝えも残る。
(中略)
フランスでは5月1日はミュゲの日 (ミュゲ = 鈴蘭)といい。愛する人にスズランを贈る習慣がある。
Wikipedia スズランより
大人パリジェンヌStories 米沢よう子著 / 光文社では、米沢よう子自身のフランスでの生活の様子も描かれていて、5月1日フランスでは誰もが無許可で売り子になれるので、なんと鈴蘭の屋台が並ぶんだそうです。
 
鈴蘭は花をリラ(百合)に喩えて表現されており、幸福を運ぶとされ、どなたかに鈴蘭をあげて相手の幸福を願うのだそうです。
成程、幸福を運ぶ花であり、自らが幸福を運ぶ日ですね。
 
鈴蘭(スズラン)と発音すると、色々な方々を偲び、ふと偲んでいる人が顔を上げると、若さ溢れる若い青年達が楽しげに歓談する、初夏の喫茶店での一場面が浮かびます。
 
君影草と発音すると、キミカゲソウという言葉の並びに「君(を)懸想(けそう=その人を想うこと)し候(そうろう)」という一文のラブレターが短縮されたり、謙ったり(へりくだったり)して、その名に隠れているようにも思えます。
 
以上、君影草でした。

 Lily of the Valley
I ordered some flowers from FLOWER again.
This time, it’s a potted lily of the valley.
I didn’t know anything about it, but I’ve always liked this flower, so I decided to buy it.
 
I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and apparently lily of the valley has other names, such as “Kimi-kage-so” and “Tani-ma-no-hime-yuri.”
Although it has “lan” in its name, it actually belongs to the lily family.

It is used as a perfume. It is said to be a sacred fragrance, and there is a legend that if you sprinkle it on a loved one, they will turn to look at you.

    (Excerpt)

 In France, May 1st is known as Muguet Day (Muguet = lily of the valley). There is a custom of giving lilies of the valley to a loved one.

In *Adult Parisian Stories* by Yoko Yonezawa (Kobunsha), the author describes her own life in France. She mentions that on May 1st, anyone in France can sell goods without a permit, so the streets are apparently lined with stalls selling lily of the valley.
 
Lily of the valley is often likened to the lily and is believed to bring happiness; it’s said that when you give lily of the valley to someone, you’re wishing them happiness.
Indeed, it is a flower that brings happiness, and it is a day when we ourselves bring happiness to others.
 
When I hear the word “lily of the valley” (Suzuran), I am reminded of various people, and when I look up from my thoughts, a scene from an early summer café comes to mind: young men brimming with youth chatting cheerfully.
 
When I pronounce it “Kimikageso,” it seems as though the phrase “I long for you” has been shortened or humbly concealed within the arrangement of the characters, as if a love letter were hidden within the name itself.
 
That concludes our discussion of Kimikageso.
