Obon (お盆) or Bon (盆) combines the Japanese belief in ancestral spirits with the Japanese Buddhist custom of honoring the spirits of one's ancestors.
Check out our latest video that shows some of the activities related to this traditional Japanese summer festival!
Special thanks to Reverend Katsuya Kusunoki for allowing us to film at Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple!
