Bon festival is a Japanese Buddhist custom.
In this season, it's said that spirits of departed people and ancestors come back home and stay several days. To welcome and guide them, we light a torch in front of the entrance of each house.
This is the torch for my father and I hope he will have a happy time at home which he built after one year interval. :)
BTW, I took Lantern festival for Bon festival until now.
But, Wikipedia says Lantern Festival is January 15. Who taught me that? :(
