About "morning Glory" (asagao - アサガオ) :

Morning glories are called 'asagao' in Japanese which means 'morning face'. It's a typical summer flower in Japan.

In the Edo (1603 - 1868) Period, people got interested in breeding morning glories. They improved the flower color and size and the propagation methods to grow them in pots.

Morning glories are often used as a motif for clothes, paintings and other decorative items.
