Okinawan Obon
A prayer is made on the third evening of Obon so the spirits can return to the tomb safely and come back again the following year. This prayer marks the end of Obon and the beginning of the Obon dance or "Eisa." "Throughout Obon, there will be Eisa dancers and celebrating here on Okinawa," said Ms. Ayano Shimojo. "People will be having a good time with their families, and dancing may last late into the evening." (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Rey Ramon)
