It's silver grass in English. In Japanese, it's called "Susuki". But long long time ago, it's called "Obana"in Japanese. ( o means tail in kanji, bana means flower in kanji.) Becase silver grass seems "tail". I think that early people was very sensitive. I took it around for Mt.Fuji.

御花（Obana）

Is he "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells? It looks like as if three men walking behind are seen through the body of graduate student Kazutoshi Obana during a demonstration of optical camouflage technology at the Tokyo University in Tokyo Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2003. The demonstration conducted by Faculty of Engineering Prof. Susumu Tachi is an early stage of his research that will eventually enable camouflaged objects virtually transparent by wearing an optical device. This photo was taken through a viewfinder that provides with a combined image of moving images taken behind Obana and him wearing a luminous jacket that makes a transparent effect. The technology can be useful for various professions such as surgeons who wish their own fingers and surgical tools won't block the view of affected parts and pilots who wish cockpit floors were transparent for landings.
