One of the most traditional Japanese National Holidays, this seems to have a double origin.As an agricultural society, this day is celebrated as it marks the seasonal change from winter to spring. Additionally, Japanese Buddhism teaches that on this day, the spirits of ancestors come back to this world.Because of this, many Japanese visit and clean their family tombs to pay theirs respects to their ancestors.
