Bon Odori which means Obon or Bon dance is a Japanese folk dance showing appreciation to the spirits of the ancestors which is a way to also welcome the spirits of the dead.
Malaysia's Bon Odori mainly gives the exposure of Japanese culture in terms of art and dance, Japanese food and drinks and also tons of Japanese companies promoting their products.
This is my second time attending Bon Odori Festival. The last time I attended this festival was way back in 2001. 15 years have past and now I actually feel the experience. I love how most people are dressed in their Yukata, a Japanese garment to dress for this very occasion. Maybe I should wear it one day to give myself a full experience on the festival. The men seems to look very manly in it whereas the women look super feminine, they look so beautiful!
Festival vibe is here and my camera is out! Here are some pictures that I took:
