[[image:Redspiderlily.jpg‎|left|300px]]Higanbana is species of spider lily that grows in Japan. 
Its English name is "red spider lily" or "hurricane lily" and its Latin name is "Lycoris radiata".

It is traditionally associated with death in Japanese society. Since its bulbs are poisonous, it was planted in graveyards to keep burrowing animals from eating the dead,<ref>''Higanbana - The Flower of the Dead.'' [http://www.japanvisitor.com/index.php?cID=364&pID=1942 Japan Visitor].

Because the flower and the leaves of this plant never appear at the same time, it also symbolises people who are kept apart and cannot meet, especially lovers.

This flower has many names in Japanese, including; 

彼岸花 - "Higanbana" meaning "flower of the autumn equinox," the time of year where the plant flowers. "Higan" can also refer to the other shore of the Sanzu River, i.e. the afterlife. 
曼珠沙華 - "Manjushage"　from a line in the Buddhist Lotus sutra, referring to a red flower. 
死人花 - "Shibito-bana," the flower of the dead. 
幽霊花 - "Yuurei-bana," the flower that looks like a ghost.
