Bon Odori (盆踊り), meaning simply Bon dance is a style of dancing performed during Obon. Originally a Nenbutsu folk dance to welcome the spirits of the dead, the style of celebration varies in many aspects from region to region. Each region has a local dance, as well as different music. The music can be songs specifically pertinent to the spiritual message of Obon, or local min'yo folk songs. Consequently, the Bon dance will look and sound different from region to region. Hokkaidō is known for a folk-song known as Soran Bushi. The song Tokyo Ondo takes its namesake from the capital of Japan. Gujo Odori in Gujō, Gifu prefecture is famous for all night dancing. Goshu Ondo is a folk song from Shiga prefecture. Residents of the Kansai area will recognize the famous Kawachi ondo. Tokushima in Shikoku is very famous for its Awa Odori, or fool's dance, and in the far south, one can hear the Ohara Bushi of Kagoshima • More on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon_Fest... • All pictures and video on http://www.lifeyou.tv
