2/3

I learned from this page that in Japan horsetail symbolizes spring, which might be relevant to the song.

Through my, ahem, "research" - 10 minutes on the internet - I have also learned that horsetail is toxic to horses and, having been introduced to New Zealand in the 1920s, is now regarded there as an invasive species.

That's enough useless information; let's get back to Nishina in the third and final post on this thread...
