In Japanese Buddhist tradition, Obon is an annual festival that honors the ancestors, typically celebrated with services, visits to the cemetery, lanterns, and folk dancing. This year, the New York Buddhist Church, established in 1938, brings its Obon back to 106th Street for a day of taiko drumming, origami crafting, and community remembrance.
