Okina means old man in Japanese.
I took this photo in the YUDO , farmer's house in Tokyo. They had a small event for commemoration of Kenji Miyazawa, a poet.
Okinagusa is the titile of his famous poem from "Haru to Shura".

After flower blooming,it become seeds having white hair. So they call it Okina ( old man ) flower. By the way, In Korea they call this flower Harumi Kott. Harumi means old woman in Korean language. Kott means flower. You might be interest in, ain't you? (^^)

>I know grandmother is Harumoni in Korean.
Yes,That's wright Haru means Far,and Omoni means Mother, So Harumoni is grandmather.
By the way, In the Korean slang, Harumoni become Harumi. It's nuance is as like as Japanese Baasan or Babaa.
