"Both heat and cold are to the days of Higan," they say in Japan during both the autumn and spring equinoxes. The traditions of the holiday go back to the depths of history, the rituals of the Buddhist holiday Higan, and the legislative date for the celebration was established in 1948. The Buddhist concept of "higan" sounds like "that shore," that is, the world where the ancestors went and where their souls settled.
The Japanese use Autumnal Equinox Day to pay respects to deceased family members, visit family graves and hold family reunions in honour of those who have passed.
