I feel very lonely at this time of the Bon Festival.
Did you prepare 盆だな to welcome the spirits of
your ancestors?
Did you prepare おはぎ to welcome them?
Did you make a cucumber-horse so that the spirits can
come back to you as quickly as possible?
Did you make an eggplant-cow so that the spirits will
go back to another world slowly?
Are you enjoying 盆踊り to welcome the spirits?
There used to be several 盆踊り大会 in our neighborhood
when my daughter was a little girl.
Oh, I remember my daughter loved the 盆踊り so much
when she was as young as her daughter!
Is it because I've done nothing of these things
that I feel so lonely?
