Obon @ Honokaa Hongwanji

The Obon season is upon us.  This is the Japanese Buddhist custom to honor your deceased ancestors, family members.  You may recognize it as a time to dance in a circle and eat good food.  The dances have evolved ("Electric Slide" bon dance may be peculiar to the Honokaa Hongwanji - not sure if it has spread to other communities),  I guess its spectacular proof that Hawaii Changes Everything.

So taking my mother tonight to eat and dance.  See you there.
