There is a tradition in Japan that people perform the Obon dance during the Obon festival. The orginal meaning of this festival is to honour their ancestors. The festival is celebrated in mid-August in many regions of Japan and mid-July in other regions. There are many different forms of Obon dance in different regions. The most typical form is circle dance. In order to perform it, people make a circle around a yagura, a high wooden stage; some dancers move clockwise, and some counter-clockwise. Obon dance is a beautiful tradition that needs to be preserved because it is one of the most important traditions. Lots of people come back to reunite with their families during the Obon festival. I really like this dance.
