I think the name's accurate because the petals really look like Reimu's bow 😂 |

The belief that China banned Touhou for containing supernatural elements stems from someone in this forum saying the movies Ghostbuster 2016 and Suicide Squad did not get released there for containing supernatural stuff and would therefore affect Touhou. However, supernatural movies like Warcraft, Dr. Strange, and Fantastic Beasts still saw Chinese releases, which either shows that the ban was lifted or being supernatural wasn't the only reasons for the bans. Chinese people love it when foreign medias portray their culture, and since Touhou contains Chinese mythology... Well, you get the idea... |

Also, they have a large enough fanbase to sustain their own Touhou specific conventions, such as Tou Hou Only (THO). Based on my casual observations from online activity and being present at their conventions (Shanghai Comicup), they might actually have the largest Touhou concentrated Touhou fanbase outside of Japan. |
