Obon is a traditional Japanese holiday celebrated in mid-August, dedicated to honoring the spirits of ancestors. It's a time when families come together to pay respects, hold memorial services, and participate in various cultural practices that reflect Japan’s deep-rooted traditions. Many people return to their hometowns, and some regions host Bon Odori dances, lantern festivals, and other events to welcome and remember the spirits of the departed.
In observance of Obon, our office will be closed from August 10th to 18th, with normal operations resuming from August 19th. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this holiday period and wish peace and love to you and your family.
