盆踊り (Bon-Odori) is a Japanese Buddhist custom which is held annually to honour the spirits of one's ancestors. It is meant to be a joyful celebration, bringing families together and celebrating rather than mourning the lives of the dearly departed.
But in Malaysia have a different ambiance, the celebration is more geared towards celebrating Japanese culture rather than Buddhism. Experience the real Japanese Matsuri atmosphere, and indulge in the large variety of food, drinks and dance.
The 34th Bon-Odori held on 17th July 2010 at Panasonic Sports Complex, formerly Matsushita Centre, Shah Alam, Selangor. This is my 1st time attend to this festival....
