Happy Shunbun no Hi

Jonko

on March 19, 2009

I said I wasn't going to update, but I had time to whip up a page so I thought I'd introduce this Japanese holiday.

There are 2 days, Shunbun no Hi and Shuubun no Hi when Japanese people must worship their ancestors by getting the whole family together and cleaning the graves and also offering incense and flowers. Since we don't have many religious holidays, this day is really important for many Japanese families.

FYI the grave says "Jonko" on it, it's my own grave!!!

Ok there will be a real update tomorrow, I promise!
