== Bon Festival (Useful Notes) ==
The Bon Festival, also known as ''Obon'', ''Festival of Lanterns'', or the ''Festival for the Spirits of the Dead'', is a Japanese holiday that's similar to Mexico's ''Day of the Dead''. The holiday lasts a week commemorating and honoring the dead, especially the ancestors, due to the Buddhist beliefs that the spirits and ghosts of love will come to visit the world of the living, mainly to revist the household altars. These week long holidays were celebrated for 500 years.
Traditionally lanterns are hung outside of houses, dances are performed, and offerings (called ''ozen'') are placed in the front of altars, temples, and grave sites occasionally.
