Dear Dr. Hiruki,

My wife and I have been attending Obon festivals for years at our local Buddhist Church without fully understanding the meaning of the festival. Your excellent website has answered many of our questions.

Many thanks, or should that be "Domo Arigato".

Bob

If I may ask please, what is a runker? A friend used the term and I wanted to know what it meant. If you have the time, could you please answer back? I did find your page interesting. But somehow your site had nothing to do with the term "runker" in the content that it was used in our conversation.

I think you have a great site! I am making a page on my site about Japanese festivals and holidays, I currently have Setsubun and Hina Ningyou, and I am researching for Tanabata and Obon right now. You have the best Obon site ever! I will be in Gifu Prefecture for Obon this year and I will get photos for my site! I am also going to try to get to Hiroshima for genbaku kinenbi in August. Visit my site sometime, ne?

Jaa, ne!

I'm looking for a photo from about 1990. It was an exhibition match in London (I think) and it showed a 6-year-old boy ready to wrestle a sumo champion. The boy had that classic look in his eye where he believed he was going to win. Any idea where I might find a copy?
