In America we don't celebrate the dead as much as the Japanese do. Japan celebrates the departure of souls and poses as a way to show that those souls were and are loved.

“The dead are offered food and water, which are placed in front of their photos."O-Bons owes its name to the Sanskrit word meaning to hang upside down.

There was a legend for this festival. It was believed that a Buddhist monk saw his mother, who had been dead, hanging upside down in the Buddhist hell. In japan, Halloween lasts for at least three days.
