Obon is an annual Buddhist event for commemorating one's ancestors, whose spirits are believed to temporarily return to this world in order to visit their relatives during Obon.

The long-awaited Obon vacation. You don't want to set off in high spirits only to forget to pack the necessary items!
We have selected items that you may need for your outdoor summer vacation, based on our own prejudice! We want you to have all of these, but we have narrowed it down to a few recommended items.
Towels, sandals, standard saddlebags, bottle openers, power mosquito coils, matches that ignite reliably even in the rain, stainless steel soap bubble makers...I feel like I need all of these for Bon Festival...!
