1884 tr. J. J. Rein Japan: Trav. & Researches (1998) 419 Often..a bush of the nanten (Nandina domestica)..is all that is found in the narrow courtyard.
1894 L. Hearn Glimpses Unfamiliar Japan II. xvi. 353 Another shrub to be found in most Japanese gardens is the nanten, about which a very curious belief exists. If you have an evil dream..you should whisper it to the nanten early in the morning, and then it will never come true.
1958 H. S. Williams Shades of Past (1984) 100 As holly without berries has little appeal at Christmas it is interesting to speculate whether the idea of wiring nanten..berries onto Japanese holly branches was first thought of at those early Christmas celebrations [of the English at Hirado, c1614–1622] or whether it was invented by enterprising Japanese florists two and a half centuries later.
1983 Kodansha Encycl. Japan V. 330/1 Nanten has traditionally been regarded as an auspicious plant.
