Bon Holidays2011.08.12

Most of the paper makers in Echizen Washi will have ` Bon Holidays`. which is originally from Buddhism ideas to visit graves and pray for ancestors,  from tomorrow to Aug 17th. Before I came here, it's just a holiday in Japan to me, but now, people here will seem to be very busy taking care of graves and welcoming lots of visitors. So since then, I have a different feeling. Good feeling. More meaningful.

So this afternoon, everyone in the village was cleaning houses and their studios. 

(* The other sightseeing areas such as Udatsu Museum on Washi Street will be open. )
