www.youtube.com --Visit for more videos-- Bon, one of Japanese Buddhist customs, is to honor the spirits of one's ancestors. Various festivities and observances take place in Japan during Bon season, around July 15th. Bon Odori is one of them, which literally means Bon Dance. It is said that the origin of Bon Odori was a folk dance to welcome the spirits of the dead. Nowadays thousands of Bon Odori Festivals, from small one to large one, are held in summer evenings all over Japan and people simply enjoy dancing apart from the original meaning of the custom. You would come across some Bon Odori Festival taking place at a small children's park or somewhere almost every evening during Bon season if you lived in a populated residential area in Japan. - Shot in 1080p full HD with an iPhone 4S on Jul. 19th, 2012 |
