What is the
Hiroshima Bon Dance?
The Hiroshima Bon Dance is a summer festival which revives the “War Victims Memorial Bon Dance Festival,” held in the summer one year after the dropping of the atomic bomb, as an experience-based international peace event. It carries on the enjoyment of the Japanese cultural tradition of “Bon Dances” taking place at overseas locations where many residents of Hiroshima Prefecture emigrated, as well the joy of peace and memories of restoration.
