The botanist Oga Ichiro(1883-1965) managed to cause just one lotus seed from among just 3 he found in old ruins and caused this lotus to bloom for the first time in 2000 years.
The name of this lotus was taken from professor Oga's name, "Oga Lotus".
From the beginning to the end of July the pink flowers bloom along the side of the 1300 square meter rice paddies.
