This weekend (August 9/10) is the start of "O Bon" festival in Japan.
It is a time when the spirits of relatives who have dies come back to visit.
This weekend there are lots of ceremonies and festivals to welcome them.
Next week many people have holidays and then the weekend of 16/17 there are many celebrations all over Japan to say good bye to the relatives as they return to where they came from.
(This is a foreigners interpretation of "O Bon" so I would be interested to hear other people's impressions if they have experienced it!!
