“Purple salvia: A flowering herb in the mint family with upright spikes of violet blooms whose earthy, herbal scent enhances concentration”
― The Memory Gardener

“As they drove onto the bridge that would bring them round to the north side of the station, the phrase "purple hills and crystal waters," an old poetic shorthand for Kyoto's scenic beauty, came to Takayuki's mind. The hilly Higashiyama area to the east was veiled in a purplish spring haze, and chances were good that the waters of the Kamogawa were looking pretty crystalline too.
Good old Rai San'yo, he thought, recalling the poet who'd coined the phrase.”
