Highlights from Bon Odori, Summer Festival! A highlight of summer festivals in Japan is the bon-odori (盆踊り/ Bon dance). Dancers circled the yagura, a high wooden bandstand for the musicians and singers. Dances were taught by Chris Dart and demonstrated by dancers from Oregon Buddhist Temple. It was a wonderful morning of traditional music and dancing!
