Visiting graves

2007-09-21 | shrine and temple

A zen-temple near my house

 Equinoctial week this fall is from September 21 to September 26.

So the day before yesterday evening , we  went  cleaning  our grave and offered incense sticks,  some flowers, rice and water after that .
Our grave is in the bamboo grove, so lots of mosquitoes attacked us in spite of using insect repellent spray.
Besides it's very hot so we finished it as fast as possible.

And yesterday afternoon,  I visited my parents' grave with my husband and my son who happened to come back from Tokyo.

There is a saying in Japan, 'The heat in summer and the cold in winter will be calmed down around equinoctial week.

The cool fall is around the corner !

They, especially striped mosquitos urgently cling to us at the end of summer & annoy us, right?
It's still hot & humid, so maybe I'll go to my family grave much later.

Yes.
They are striped mosquitoes.
So many mosquitoes were there.

So I don't want to go there in summer.
