I just got back.
Kana-kana-kana...
Welcome home, Hijiri!
Good job working so late.
Oh, just doing my duty.
Even on the way home, I saw Bon spirit-welcoming fires under the eaves of every house.
I could also hear the lonely cries of the evening cicadas.
Every year, this season impresses me.
So what's with these cucumbers with wooden sticks♂ jammed into 'em?
Those are transportation for our ancestors.
So their spirits can come home faster.
They'll take their time coming back on an eggplant cow.
What a waste.
Motorized
We got some eggplants and cucumbers as offerings...
...and they're all such nice, hard, thick ones...
There were also some who said, "Please give them to me after you're done with them"...
