----盆踊り（ぼんおどり、bon odori)----
Bon-odori is a festive folk dance held in the evenings during summer or bon season (Aug.13-15).
The stage is set in an open space in a local community, and ゆかた（yukata）-clad men and women dance in a circle until late at night.
The original purpose was to welcome and console departed souls.
