I'd like to tell you about Nirin-sou (or called wind-flower in English) in the botanical approach today.
This flower is called "Nirin-sou" in Japanese that is one of species in genus of Anemone. The scientific name is anemone flaccida.
As for the characteristic of this plant, two flowers bloom at the same time from one stem. In other words, the most of this plant grows two flower stalks ( or scapes) from one stem as you can see in the image.

image on right : up-closed image of Nirin-sou. Diameter of this flower is 2 cm at most, and it has five pieces of white sepals which look like petals. This plant has no petal that is another characteristic of this plant.
The flowering time will be end of March to beginning of April in the local area where I live.
