I stayed my grandparents's house from 12 to 15 to meet them and visit to my ancestor's graves. This season is said Obon. In Japan we visit to graves on this season. When I went to my grandparents's house,I met my cousins and play with them for example skateboard,fireworks and pool. When I played with skateboard,fell down from that and made a bruise.This skateboard is different from usual. You don't have to kick to move so it is difficult. When I went to the pool, I played with water slider.
I got sunburned and had a red shoulder because when I went to there I was outside all day.This is my Obon. I had a good times.How about you?
Is Obon on certain days or is it throughout August? I have not heard of it before. In Chinese culture there is a specific day called ChingMing where families visit their ancestors graves and bring food, burn incense, and pray.
ReplyDeleteObon is from August 13th to 16th. ChingMing is same as Obon. We also do same things on New Year's Day. But it isn't called Obon. Obon that we call is only 8/13~8/16.
