The Red Spider Lily is also known as the Flower of the Other Shore.

Red Spider Lily: The name originated from the word "Manjushu" in Manjushri Bodhisattva. It represents endless love, a harbinger of death, and a call from hell.
White Spider Lily: Endless longing, desperate love, a message from heaven.
In folklore, it is said that long, long ago, the outskirts of the city were filled with large patches of Spider Lilies—also known as Manjushaka. Guardian beside the Spider Lily were two youkais, one was the flower spirit named Manju, and the other was the leaf spirit named Shaka.
They waited for thousands of years for the Spider Lily to bloom, but they could never see each other... because of the growth habit of Manjushaka: when the flowers bloom, the leaves cannot be seen, and when the leaves grow, the flowers cannot be seen. The flowers and leaves can never meet, always separated. However, they missed each other crazily and were deeply tormented by this pain. Finally, one day, they decided to defy the gods' rules and meet in secret.

That year, the bright red flowers of Manjushaka were set off by the striking green, making them look exceptionally beautiful. However, the gods blamed this act. Manju and Shaka were thrown into the cycle of reincarnation and cursed never to be together, enduring hardships in the mortal world for generations.
From then on, Manjushaka is also called the Flower of the Other Shore, meaning a flower that blooms in heaven. The shape of the flowers resembles a pair of hands praying to heaven, but they no longer appear in the city...
Since then, this flower has become the Flower of the Other Shore that only blooms on the road to the Yellow Spring. When Manju and Shaka are reincarnated each time, they can remember their past lives by the fragrance of the Spider Lily on the road to the Yellow Spring, swear not to separate again, but will fall into the cursed cycle once more.
