Autumnal Equinox Day with Higanbana

Autumnal Equinox Day is the middle day of Higan (or Ohigan).  Higan is an event for Buddism, which is a period to pray for ancestors visiting an ancestors' grave. The flower, which blooms this time of year (September), is called Higanbana. You can find Higanbana everywhere in Japan.
