Today is Autumn Equinox Day in Japan


It’s Autumn Equinox Day today. Autumn Equinox Day falls on around September 23 and is a national holiday.
Memorial services take place at temples and people make visits to graves to comfort the spirits of their ancestors. Especially, Japanese elder generation perform the ceremony on the holiday.

It has been cooler in Utunomiya since a week ago. The morning glory flowers on my balcony keep their shapes till the evening.



I had nothing special to do today, so I just relaxed and took some pictures of the flowers at home.
