Obon Festivals

In August the Japanese celebrate Obon.   It's one of their major holidays.  They believe that their ancestors' spirits come back to their homes to be reunited with their family during obon.  It includes lots of festivals and parades.  We love to see them dance and listen to the Taiko Drums.  It is such a fun culture to be a part of.  When they play the drums (very loudly) the boys just watch in awe.  It's such a fun beat.  And their dancing is so beautiful.
