加爾基　精液　栗ノ花 (Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana, Chalk, Semen, Chestnut Blossoms^?) is the third album for the original album of Japanese singer Shiina Ringo, released on February 23, 2003. With this work, Shiina Ringo self-produced an album for the first time.

The bonus track "映日紅の花(いちじくのはな) (Ichijiku no Hana, the flower of the fig^?)" is collected only in the vinyl record version. The short film "短篇キネマ 百色眼鏡 (Tanpen kinema Hyakuiro Megane, short cinema, the glasses of 100 colors^?)" in which the world view of this album was made an image preceded had been put on the market earlier before release.

The title of "不思議・猥雑・エキセントリック (Fushigi / Waizatsu / Ekisentorikku, Wonder / Vulgar / Eccentric^?)" was due to be entitled to this album at the beginning.

The single "真夜中は純潔 (Mayonaka ha Junketsu, Midnight is pure^?)" was to have been collected to this album with the pair song to this, "愛妻家の朝食 (Aisaika no Chousyoku, The breakfast of the devoted husband^?)". However, it was called off for the reason of not matching the view of the world of this album.
