    Flowers decorate a Japanese grave during Obon in Iwakuni Aug. 15, 2012. The final event of the Obon festival is usually he “Toronagashi,” where thousands of drifting lanterns are released into rivers and streams so they may travel into the seas, guiding the spirits back to their resting places and then a final feast to symbolize the return to normal days.
