It isn’t a naturally occuring braid. The roots wouldn’t grow that uniform underground. It is just a publicity stunt to try to get media attention on an otherwise ignored topic and area. The French do the same thing with carrots and hydroponics for gourmet decorations. They don’t think it is magic.

Actually, this one is probably considered good luck because it looks exactly like the thick ropes that are hung from the entrance gates to shrines.

To be honest, they believe any weird shape of radish is good luck.
If there was one in the shape of Satan, they would probably love it.
