Tomorrow is a national holiday in Japan - Vernal Equinox Day. Before WWII, the holiday was called Shunki Koreisai, a shinto holiday to honor past emperors of Japan. In 1948, it was changed to Shunbun no Hi, a day to celebrate beauty in nature and living creatures. The traditional food for this day is botamochi, a wagashi made with glutinous rice, white rice and sweet azuki paste.
