It is well known that the each bark of a "Broussonetia kazinoki" and " a Edgeworthia chrysantha" is a raw material of the Japanese paper.
We can see the beautiful flowers of a "Edgeworthia chrysantha" in the garden well, but a "Broussonetia kazinoki" is not so often. The photograph is a flower of a "Broussonetia kazinoki." The upper things are female flowers, and the lower things are pistillate flowers. The purplish red styles of a female flower spreading radially are characteristic.
