I’m sorry
Because we can’t speak english
I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence, but I would like you to understand
Thank you
In Japan, there is an event called Obon.
It is an event to visit the graves and enshrine the spirits of ancestors from around August 13th to 16th every year.
Although it is essentially a Buddhist event
What if you are Japanese and a Christian like myself?
I live in Japan.
I go to the church ossuary and pray at the time of the Buddhist event.
Non-Japanese may wonder…
But it is OK according to the Japanese custom.
The ancestors are definitely happy to see us.
