Starry bodhi tree is a nut found on Hainan Island, China.

The reason it is called "starry moon" is because of the appearance of the starry bodhi tree fruit, which is covered with countless spots.


And among those countless spots, there is one large spot.

This large spot is a mark made when the fruit was picked from the stem,

and remains as a deeper and larger spot than the other spots.


These countless small spots represent the "stars" in the night sky, and the larger spots represent the "moon".

For this reason, the fruit of the bodhi tree, which has white fruit with black spots, is called the starry bodhi tree.


The starry bodhi tree is also said to represent the world of Buddha.

This comes from the fact that the fruit of the starry bodhi tree is likened to the stars and moon in the night sky,

It has long been believed that the fruit of the starry bodhi tree represents the universe, and that the universe is the world of Buddha.
