冬でも、生い茂ったカラスウリが電気線にからまっていました。
This weed-like vine is full of fruit, hanging from the power lines near the Odakyu rail tracks. In Japanese, it’s called “karasuuri,” and some varieties are used in Chinese medicine. I love how rampant it is, even in winter.
I had a blog topic on karasuuri for the longest time. Took me ages to figure it out. (^-^;) https://tokyobling.wordpress.com/2008/12/16/85/
