We used to live in Waimea on the Big Island, otherwise known as Kamuela, just to add to the confusion. <br /><br />Yep, Obon is these big celebrations, all summer long, at all the various buddhist temples around the island... at some of them the priest holds a little service before the dancing and chants and reads of the names of the year's deceased, and the family members light incense.
