Mizuko kuyo is a Japanese Buddhist memorial service for aborted fetuses or miscarried babies. It is believed that these fetuses are left in a state of limbo and might become vengeful spirits, and so the ceremony is a way to offer them purification and release from suffering. The ceremony involves offerings such as flowers, candles, and toys, as well as chanting and recitation of sutras for the benefit of the fetuses.
