Visiting a grave

Trumpet daffodil

  Today is a middle day of a equinoctial week and the length of the day and night is the same.
We call the week 'O-hi-ga-n' and we visit the grave of our ancestors.
I also visited my parents' grave and offered rice, water, flowers and incense sticks.
It's very windy today, so I couldn't burn the incense sticks.
After that I prayed for a while.

By the way, there is a saying in Japan 'A-tsu-sa sa-mu-sa mo hi-ga-n ma-de' ; 'The heat and cold will never last after the equinoctial week '.
So we'll be able to spend  comfortable days for a while from now !
