Obon Festival in Buddhist tradition. Japan Nite Obon Festival Event. The festival is a summertime Japanese (and Japanese-American) festival commemorating one’s ancestors. In their honor, lanterns are hung, Bon Odori (Obon dance) is performed, memorial visits are made, and food is offered at home butsudans and temples.

The Idaho-Oregon Buddhist Temple follows the Jodo Shinshu tradition, which Iseri describes as “everyday person’s Buddhism.

Japanese influence in this community has been significant and goes back to the 1920s,” he said. “This public event showcases pieces of Buddhism and Japanese culture and is probably our most important means of outreach.
