Spider lilies are seen in full bloom near the Shimanto River in Shimanto, Kochi Prefecture, on Sept. 20.
The bright crimson flowers, considered a symbol of early autumn, covered the ground even while summer heat lingered and cicadas — an icon of summer — continued to sing.
According to the city tourist association, the blooming of the spider lilies this year was a little later than usual and is expected to continue until early October.
