Bon Festival Night
I'm very interested in this challenge "Night".
I can't see anything but I can feel something invisible in the dark.
For example,Fairy,Ghost,Monster,Witch....
So,"Night" is fantastic even creative the moment.
Especially I feel like the nostalgic who had died already.
Bon Festival in Japan, It's believed that our ancestor spirits return on this night once a year in the mid August.
they come across the big river riding on eggplant cattle and cucumber horses,haveing Hozuki lanterns for lighting teir routes.
It's similar to "Halloween"
That night we decorate a lot of lanterns and welcome them by Bon dance.
This coming Bon, I'm planning to go to Toyama area.
They hold on special Bon dance named " Windy Bon"
It's mysterious and beautiful festival.
When the ancestral souls go back to their world, we have shot off a lot of fireworks for express our thanks and farewell to them.
That why we have the fireworks in summer night.
Thank you Terry!
"Night" show us wonderful spiritual world.
