In the rainy season, a deciduous broadleaf tree called "Yamaboushi(kousa dogwood)" is found in the mountains in Izu Peninsula. Literally meaning a mountain Buddhist monk with its green flower cluster in the middle looking like a shaved bald monk with his white hood on (four bract leaves),

Yamaboushi plays a stellar role amongst the number of flowers in bloom in Izu at this time of the year.
