Japan has the custom of making a sacred fire at the Bon Festival in order to welcome departed souls back. During the Bon festival the spirits of ancestors are believed to come back. This fire will be a beacon for the spirits. Originally this fire should be lit on a clay vessel, but I put special spiritual wood on the barbecue grill. My father loved camping and outdoor activities and he would be happy.
Coming two weeks from now on, my ancestors will live with us in the same house.
