Episode 17 – Obon

from Sounds Japanese Canadian To Me · host Nichola Ogiwara

In this episode, Raymond and Carolyn discuss the Buddhist holiday of Obon, and how it is celebrated in Japan and Canada. Obon is a summer festival held in remembrance of deceased ancestors, but rather than being a sombre occasion, it is seen as a time to celebrate and show gratitude to those who came before. It is one of the major holidays in Japan, and an important cultural occasion for Japanese Canadian communities across Canada. The post Episode 17 – Obon appeared first on Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre.
