Red Spider Lilies Delight Visitors at Tokyo Museum
Visitors admire red spider lilies in full bloom on the grounds of the Fuchu City Local History Museum in Fuchu, Tokyo.
Red spider lilies delight visitors at Tokyo's Fuchu City Local History Museum. These seasonal blooms, known as higanbana or manjushage in Japanese, grace the museum grounds with their vibrant colors. The museum's staff enhanced the display by planting approximately 400,000 of these flowers between 2020 and 2024. In an unusual event, the red spider lilies are blooming earlier than usual this year.
The peak of their beauty is expected to last until Sunday, when the museum will host a series of taiko drum performances, scheduled at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m.
