RE: My Family’s Obon Journey and Reflections / 家族とお盆

While looking into foreign customs to explain Japan's "Obon" in a simple way, I found that Mexico's "Day of the Dead" might be somewhat similar.

I think Obon is a wonderful tradition in concept, but for some people, actually going back to their hometowns and gathering with relatives can bring various stresses. Quite a few people feel reluctant about returning home in the summer.

I hope we can cherish not only our ancestors but also the living family and relatives🥰
