Japan is beautiful in the autumn. The skyline becomes a sea of yellow, orange and brown! Especially beautiful when paired with the dark red colour of torii gates or shrines.

The Higanbana flower - the flower of the dead. This is the literal translation as it's named for O-higan the Buddhist holiday that falls around the Autumn Equinox. The flower can also be translated as "flower of the autumn equinox, and are known as the Red Spider Lily, Lycoris or Cluster Amaryllis in English. They are in full bloom around the time of the Autumn Equinox (which is today) and are a sign that autumn is here in Japan!

🌷Some more interesting facts about higanbana flowers!🌷
The flowers are often found framing rice paddies and dotted around graveyards. Their bulbs are poisonous and are planted around rice paddies to keep the pests away. The flowers grow from these bulbs, a long stalk protrudes from the ground where the flower will blossom.

🍂 秋分の日 (Shubun no Hi), is the Autumn Eq

🍂 秋分の日 (Shubun no Hi), is the Autumn Equinox in Japan that falls this year on 23rd September. In Japan, the equinox is a public holiday and offices and schools have the day off. The holiday has roots in Shintoism and Buddhism but after WWII religion and state was separated, and it was changed to a non-religious holiday.

To join in the celebrations you can go higanbana flower viewing (more on that coming soon!), show gratitude to loved ones who have passed away or help tend to graves if you have Japanese family, visit a garden and take in the autumn air, or eat Botamochi (mochi rice covered in red bean paste).

How will you celebrate Shubun no Hi? 🍂

Today is otsukimi! 🌝🌾 Otsukimi (moon viewing

Today is otsukimi! 🌝🌾 Otsukimi (moon viewing) is an event with a long history, originating in China during the Tang Dynasty. By the Edo period in Japan, it became a popular event and was closely connected with autumn festival rituals, which included the offering of freshly harvested rice to the gods.

Nowadays people celebrate it through displaying rice cake and pampas grass decorations, eating tsukimi-dango (rice cakes) and other tsukimi themed foods now available such as tsukimi burgers or udon. Are you celebrating otsukimi today?

積ん読 (tsundoku) = 積む(tsumu, to pile up) +

積ん読 (tsundoku) = 積む(tsumu, to pile up) +‎ 読 (doku, to read)

📚Doku is the onyomi of 読, so the word becomes tsundoku. This is also a pun of 積んどく (tsundoku), contraction of 積んでおく(tsundeoku) which means to leave piled up.

📚If you're a book collector you will understand this concept perfectly. The art of buying or acquiring books and leaving them to pile up unread!
