About this event
A moving Obon memorial ceremony at Matsushima, one of Japan's Three Great Views. Hundreds of paper lanterns are set afloat on the bay at dusk, their flickering lights drifting among the pine-covered islands. Commemorative fireworks illuminate the night sky, creating an unforgettable scene of remembrance and beauty.
