Bon Festival

A praying mantis and a zinnia

Bon Festival is from August 13 to August 16.
It is a chain of events to which ancestral spirits are enshrined. 
Many people come back home and visits a grave. 
I also visited graves where my parents are sleeping today.
Of course I visited graves of my house the other day and cleaned it.
Priests are also busy in visiting houses to recite sutras in front of the Buddhist altar.  
And Bon dance is held here and there at this time of the year.
It is one of the big events for Japanese people.
