Leucanthemum x superbum
Although the 'flower' may appear to consist of a yellow centre with white petals, this is not the case. Each individual "petal" is itself an individual flower, called asterales. In the centre there are also many tiny yellow flowers. The different colours and styles of flower work together in order to attract insects. This type of flower is known as a composite flower. -From Wikipedia
I call this flower "Margaret," at least when I lived in Japan.

Thank you very much KimAyersStolzy. As you suggested, I changed the name. I like Shasta daisy much better.
