Over this weekend the Obon Festival
took place in West LA
Food stalls, creative games
and lots of people
wearing beautiful yukadas.
And when the time came to dance
the traditional Bon Odori,
people young and old
Japanese and American
or no matter where you are from
all joined in
to the steady beating of the drums
in a celebration of cultural diversity.
這個周末West LA慶祝
日本的盂蘭盆節
像台灣學校的園遊會一樣
有食物攤子和小遊戲
還有許多人穿著美麗的浴衣
而且當要跳日本傳統舞蹈 Bon Odori時
不分年幼老少
國籍種族
文化信仰
大家都一起加入
跟著鼓聲齊舞
慶祝在這塊土地上
不同的文化可以和平的交流.

I love festivals like this, especially when they give me the chance to learn about a culture I didn't grow up in. And those little girls look so cute! This must have been a blast!
ReplyDeleteTo Brandi: That was the reason I wanted to go - to learn about the Japanese culture.
