Obon Festival

This summer was hot.
I took two weeks holiday.
I went to my hometown.
Around the 15 th of August,everyone rushes back to their hometown.

Obon Festival
Obon is a traditional Buddhist festival which takes place throughout Japan around August 15 (July 15 in the lunar calendar). At this time, people visit their ancestors' graves, welcome the ancestors' spirits home with food and offerings and then see the spirits off.

I visited my ancestors' graves with my brother.
We had a lantern.
We set fire to a candle in a grave.
And we met an ancestors' spirits.
