Camellia Tea Ceremony @camelliakyoto.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

🍂AUTUMN EQUINOX🙏 Today is Shūbun-no-hi (秋分の日 'Autumn Equinox Day’)📿 Typically falling on September 22nd or 23rd, this time of year coincides with the Buddhist observances 'Shūki Higan-e' (秋季彼岸会 'Autumn Equinoctial Services'). It has been a national holiday since 1948. #autumn #Kyoto #秋分の日

A moment to enjoy the autumn colours in the tea room.

A statue of Jizo holding a baby watches over the cemetery at Taizo-in.

Higanbana, red spider lilies, bloom at this time of year, and are deeply associated with the dead.

Konkaikomyo-ji's cemetery is one of the city's largest...filled with thousands of gravestones, stupas and Buddhist statues.

Pretty good step count for a Tuesday! Luckily my school campus is massive so I get between 10-12,000 normally just at work. Then normally one or two walks after work. #walking #health
