Red spider lily,Higanbana,ヒガンバナ
This is first installment of a
two-part series of this topic.
“Neither heat nor cold lasts beyond the
equinox”
The idiomatic phrase expressing the climate of Japan
has " Neither heat nor cold lasts beyond the equinox“, It say that lingering summer heat and lingering
cold will continues to until around the spring and autumn equinox, and its
climate become mild when passing beyond its Higan.
It seems that the origin of the name
of Higanbana has become the origin of the Japanese name of this flower because
it begins to bloom in autumn's Higan.
Remrks:
Higan(two period of
seven days with the middle day falling on the spring or autumn equinox):the
word higan meaning”the other shore,”in
Buddhism,nirvana.
During higan the
spirits of ancestors are recalled. Buddhist rites carried out and family graves visited.(quote
from NIPPON,The Land and Its People)
このトピック2回シリーズの1回目です。
" 暑さも寒さも彼岸まで"
日本の気候を表す慣用句に「暑さ寒さも彼岸まで」があり、残寒・残暑は彼岸のころまで続き、彼岸をすぎるとやわらぐという。ヒガンバナの名前の由来は秋のヒガンの頃咲き始めるのでこの花の日本名の由来となったらしい。
備考
彼岸(春分の日と秋分の日を中心とした前後の7日間):彼岸とは向こう岸の意味で、仏教では悟りの世界の事である。先祖の霊を呼び、仏事を行い、墓にお参りをする)

Cluster amaryllis or Red spider lily,Higanbana,ヒガンバナ
Higan (two periods of seven days with the middle day falling on the spring or autumn equinox)is one
of Main Anuual Festivals in Japan. The word higan meaning "the other shore,"or, in Buddhism,nirvana.During higan the spirits of ancestors are recalled, Buddhist rites carried out and
family graves visited.(Most are quote from "NIPPON".) So,I will do it tomorrow with my wife.
That's why the name of this flower which blooms in the days
of the autumn equinox week is called higanbana.
This cluster-amaryllis is seen well in the area of farm, the bank and the graveyard in Japan.
お彼岸は日本の主な年中行事の一つで(春分の日と秋分の日を中心とした前後の7日間)である。
彼岸とは向こうの岸の意味で、仏教では悟りの世界のことである。先祖の霊を呼び、仏事を行い、お墓にお参りする。(多くを”NIPPON”から引用)
そんなわけで、明日はカミサンと墓参りします。
そんなわけ秋の彼岸の週に咲くこの花の名前は彼岸花と呼ばれます。
ヒガンバナは日本で田畑の周辺、堤防、お墓でよく見られます。
