The Silent Bon Dance Festival

  • In summers in Japan, we often join a bon dance festival that was originally a Buddhist event.


    In the bon dance festival, we play music, hit drums, and dance.

    However, recently in Japan, people who feel annoyed to the sound of the festival has increased.

    Therefore, some bon dance festivals became silent ones.

    They wear an earphone, and just dance.

    From afar, this may seem like zombie dance.
