DESCRIPTION:

Buddhist cultures respect their ancestors, and the Bon Festival, Obon Festival, or Feast of Lanterns is one of the more spectacular tributes in the culture. Depending on location, this three-day celebration occurs on the fifteenth of August or July. Festivities include bonfires on hills and lanterns lit throughout the towns. Buddhists believe the spirits of the dead come back to earth during this time, and the lanterns and bonfires guide them home.

The Bon Festival week in mid-August is one of Japan's three major holiday seasons.
