One thing I looked forward to each and every summer while growing up in Hawai’i was the Bon Dance Festival at Honpa Hongwanji. Celebrated across the islands, the festival is an annual Japanese holiday that originated in Okinawa. It commemorates and remembers loved ones who are deceased. It is during this time that their spirits return to visit their family members.
