A woman and her son look at paper lanterns during the Mitama Festival at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. Over 30,000 lanterns are displayed and lit up the precincts of the shrine, where more than 2.4 million war-dead are enshrined, during the four-day festival that ends Friday.

What's interests me as far as I can see from the picture is that the people who offered a light before the dead souls seem to be from such common folks' living area across the river as Nakahara ward of Kawasaki and Katsushika ward of Tokyo. Widow's mite seems more reassuring and unaffected than others.
