Every day there's a big celebration in a Japan.It's called "Festival Obon".The Festival Obon is in April and it's a celebration of the spring.


On the day of the Festival Obon,the festival begins with the traditional dance of Bon-odon welcoming the spirits of the deceased and dressed in a traditional yukata (summer kimono),dancing to the sound of music and the beat of the drums


Despite being a party in honor of the dead in which it is believed that the spirits of ancestors return to visit the living,the celebration has nothing sad,on the contrary,it is an ocassion for family reunions where abound dances,music,food and drink(yukata)
