The Obon Holiday
In Japan, we have the Obon Holiday in summer.
Obon is in the month of August, usually from August 13 to 15. The purpose of this holiday is to celebrate our ancestors for coming back to our world during this period.
Many companies and stores are closed during the Obon Holiday. Therefore, people return to their hometown to get together with their relatives and visit cemeteries. Some families even invite a monk to recite a sutra for their ancestors. After these traditional ceremonies, we get to go eat out and go out side to play fireworks. One of my great memory for the Obon Holiday was going to the river and hiked in a mountain. The Obon holiday is certainly important for Japanese to get together with family and spend time with them.

Very well written! I didn't have much to correct. It's nice to learn more about Obon for me. Thanks for writing such an informative journal! （＾＿＾）〜☆
