  9. Obon: Japan’s festival of ancestors
    Held August 13–16, #Obon is a #Buddhist festival to honor ancestors’ spirits. Families light lanterns to guide souls home, while Bon Odori dances fill the streets with joy. Kyoto’s Obon stands out for Gozan no Okuribi: five giant mountain kanji fires illuminating the night sky. A moving blend of memory, light, and tradition. #JapaneseCulture #Matsuri #Summertime

  25. Mibu-dera's dance is known as 'Chūdō-ji Rokusai Nenbutsu' (中堂寺六斎念仏). As this is Obon it coincides with the temple's 'Mantō Kuyō-e' (万灯供養会 'Ceremony of the 10,000 lights'), a ritual to honor the dead and welcome them home for a brief holiday.
