Birthday Headcanon
▶ Today is Lycoris's birthday, on the start of the Autumn Equinox, the season of harvest and the deceased.
Today is also the holiday of Higan-e, a Buddhist holiday that celebrates in Autumn and Spring to devote more time to renewing one's faith in Buddhism. It is also to celebrate and honor deceased ones. Around this holiday, the flowers of the red Lycoris radiata, also known as the Red Spider Lilies, begin to bloom.
In Japan, they are called the 'Higanbana', because 'higan' means the other shore to the river of the afterlife. These flowers decorate the shore, and they are a tribute to the dead. ◀
