“Bon dance” in Tokyo, September 2024

Hello everyone and team TAKA members in 33 countries,

Thank you for visiting our homepage.
How are you all doing?
Everyone in my family is doing well on their own.

The weather in Japan this summer has been strange.Japan is already in autumn, which is the best season according to the calendar.
However, the temperature in Tokyo today is 35 degrees Celsius
(95 degrees Fahrenheit).It is still midsummer.

I have attached a photo of the summer festival "Bon dance festival" held
at a nearby shrine. It is the shrine where everyone stopped on the way
from JR Omori Station to my house.Bon dance is a traditional Japanese
event held during the summer to honor ancestral spirits.

Let’s stay in touch.
Have a wonderful day!

Arigato,

Your TOMODACHI in Tokyo
Taka & Keiko
