One girl gets a red spider lily, also known as the “flower of the other shore” or “flower of paradise,” tattooed on her back. As the legend goes, when the dead cross a “forgotten river” that separates the underworld and the living world, all the memories of his or her past life will disappear, and the scent of the flowers grown on the shore will bring back all the beautiful memories of the dead one last time before disappearing forever.
