Grass star - Kusaboshi

Japanese: くさ星 - くさぼし
Grass star - Kusaboshi
The Japanese name for the Pleiades. It is also called Ogusa-boshi, Mogusa-boshi, or Ookusa-boshi. The character kusagusa is used, but the meaning is unclear. It seems that the group of stars was named this way because the word kusagusa means "abundant things."
