noun
Japanese andromeda; Pieris japonica
A flowering shrub native to Japan; also known as Hime Lily of the valley bush. The kanji 姫馬酔木 literally means 'princess andromeda'.
庭に姫馬酔木を植えた。
I planted a Japanese andromeda in the garden.
馬酔木 (あせび) is the more common name for Japanese andromeda; 姫馬酔木 (ひめあせび) is a specific variety or a more delicate form.
The name 姫馬酔木 combines 姫 (princess, small) with 馬酔木 (あせび, Japanese andromeda). The exact derivation is uncertain, but it likely refers to a smaller or more ornamental variety of the plant.
