Red Platycodon Grandiflorus language—the deep red buried in the heart
The lower part of Kikyo's巫女 (miko) costume is red, contrasting with the white upper part, which dazzlingly brightens the eyes. The beauty of the red spreads, making it impossible to avoid. Even though wearing such bright clothes, Kikyo still retains her delicate beauty, and the red barely leaves a trace on her soul. However, remember in the ending theme song "my will" of the first part of "Inuyasha," the background of Kikyo is filled with vast stretches of曼珠沙华 (red spider lilies), which are magnificent and desperate. She holds a bow and arrow, shooting it smoothly, with a powerful force. Kikyo seems to transform into another person, with the red dyeing her, instantly covering the entire screen. Time, at this moment, freezes, and all that can be seen is the red covering the sky, only Kikyo, only red, only that arrow. The air, warm, permeated with the warmth of red.
Purple Platycodon Grandiflorus language—the naturally occurring purple
There is a light purple with a hint of blue, similar to the few Platycodon Grandiflorus flowers in front of Kikyo's grave in the TV version. Often people praise Kikyo's temperament, not only her delicate appearance, refined clothes, clear eyes, but also the temperament that radiates from within, a slightly cold temperament. No need for修饰 (adornment), Kikyo's nobility is innate, like the proud and dignified purple, sacred, fearless, and always respected. Kikyo's face always seems to have a layer of white light, and the few Platycodon Grandiflorus flowers in front of her grave also emit white light in the rain, lonely and cold, never yielding, surviving strongly in the wind and rain, like the noble violet.
The Legend of the Platycodon Grandiflorus
In the past, there lived a girl named Kikyo in a village. Kikyo had no parents and lived alone at home. However, there was a boy who visited Kikyo every day and said, "Kikyo, when I grow up, I want to marry you," and "When I grow up, I also want to marry you." They made such a promise.
Years later, Kikyo grew into a beautiful young lady, and the boy grew into a handsome young man, becoming a couple. However, the young man had to go to a distant place on a large boat to fish. "Kikyo! Wait for me, I will definitely come back." Finally, the day came for the young man to leave. "Remember to come back, I will wait for you, goodbye," the boy set off towards the sea, getting farther and farther, while Kikyo cried continuously.
But the young man Kikyo loved didn't come back for ten years, and Kikyo became more and more sad looking at the sea. Therefore, she decided to go to the temple temporarily to "Master, teach me the method to calm my heart." "Namu Amida Butsu, to know this, you must first empty your heart, don't let your heart be entangled by romantic feelings."
Kikyo was determined to do so, but she couldn't forget the young man, so she kept going to the seaside. After several decades, Kikyo had become an old woman, looking at the sea and thinking of the young man who never returned, she shed tears. Kikyo's eyes slowly closed, and her body turned into a flower. Later, people called that flower Kikyo, and the Kikyo flower looked at the sea searching for the young man. Therefore, the language of the Kikyo flower became: sincere and unchanging love.
