Bon Festival in Hiroshima |

|
||||||
| The Mahayana Buddhist festival of Ullambana, known as Bon in Japan, is held in mid-July or mid-August, depending on the region. According to tradition, this is when the ancestral spirits return to their former homes. Here, lanterns lit for the souls of the dead float in front of the Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome in Hiroshima. | ||||||
