Urata at the Nihondaira Observatory. In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there, Alice comes upon a large flower-bed with a border of daisies and a willow-tree growing in the middle. The Tiger-lily tells Alice that all the flowers can talk as well as Alice---and a great deal louder.
