Oban Festival

People in Oregon celebrate Oban, a Buddhist festival that honors ancestors and family members who have died. Notice the traditional crafts, music, and dances that are being shared and passed on to new generations. Sahomi Tachibana is not here, but her love of dance and desire to see it passed on are present in the people on this video!

At the end, modern American music is played and danced to, blending the old and new into a unique heritage.
