Material information
The scientific name for rush grass, Juncus, apparently means "to tie." The word "tie" has various meanings, such as to connect, organize, create, solidify, and tighten, and is also used to mean tying bonds and hearts, such as forming relationships with people or making promises. Igusa is a grass with such auspicious meanings. Igusa also has the effect of purifying the air, deodorizing, and regulating humidity, and its scent has a relaxing effect.
