"Okuri-bi" (Great Bonfire)「送り火」

“Obon" is celebrated from August 13th to 15th to commemorate deceased ancestors. Their spirits are believed to cross over into our world to visit relatives during this time. On the last day of Obon, lanterns or bonfires are lit so that the light may guide ancestor’s spirits back home. In Kyoto, enormous bonfires of shapes and kanji characters are built on 5 mountains surrounding the city in a festival called “Gozan no Okuribi”.
The deities are represented by the stars Vega and Altair respectively. Decorations for Tanabata include writing your wishes on colorful paper or "tanzaku" and hanging them on bamboo.

8月はお盆。「送り火」とはお盆の精霊を送る伝統行事であります。「京都五山送り火」では京都を囲む5つの山にそれぞれ「大文字」「左大文字」「船形」「鳥居形」「妙法」の形に火がともされます。
