  1. I would be interested in attending this. It is a nice way to pay tribute to your deceased loved ones. I especially like the lanterns in the water. A Chinese woman said her family had paper versions of the things their deceased grandmother might want. They burned them and the smoke sent them to her.

  2. Loved the video. Attended Obon Odori in JapanTown in San Jose CA in the late ’50’s as I was dating a student on the vaunted Judo team coached by the esteemed Yosh Uchida. Believe the celebration is still going on yearly at the Buddhist Temple. Japanese culture is alive & well in California
