Obon Festival Obon Festival

Today I took you to the Obon Festival in Kashikaya. 🎐

It's been held to commemorate ancestors for over 500 years!

Originally a religious ceremony, but now it's a community carnival, the atmosphere is super warm, everyone is wearing a yukata costume, where everyone comes out to dance Bon Odori: a Japanese dance to commemorate their ancestors, around the stage of "Yakura" with the sound of taiko drums. 🥁

... Read moreหลายคนอาจเคยได้ยินคำว่า “Obon Festival” หรือ “Obon Day” แล้วสงสัยว่าเทศกาลโอบ้งคืออะไรกันแน่ เราสรุปแบบเข้าใจง่ายจากที่ไปเจอด้วยตัวเองที่โคชิกายะ จ.ไซตามะ (Saitama) มาให้ค่ะ เทศกาลโอบ้ง (お盆 / Obon) คือเทศกาลฤดูร้อนสำคัญของญี่ปุ่น ที่เกี่ยวกับ “การรำลึกถึงบรรพบุรุษ” คนญี่ปุ่นเชื่อว่าช่วงเวลานี้ดวงวิญญาณของบรรพบุรุษจะกลับมายังโลก/กลับมาหาครอบครัว เลยมีทั้งการไหว้ การทำความสะอาดหลุมศพ และกิจกรรมของชุมชนที่อบอุ่นมากๆ ถึงรากเดิมจะเป็นพิธีทางศาสนา แต่ปัจจุบันหลายพื้นที่ทำให้เป็นงานรื่นเริงประจำเมืองที่ใครๆ ก็ไปได้ แล้ว Obon Day จัดวันไหน? โดยทั่วไปจะอยู่ช่วงกลางเดือนสิงหาคม (หลายเมืองประมาณ 13–16 ส.ค.) แต่บางภูมิภาค โดยเฉพาะแถบคันโต/โตเกียวและใกล้เคียง อาจจัดช่วงกลางเดือนกรกฎาคมแทน ดังนั้นถ้าจะไปตามรอย แนะนำให้เช็กเว็บเมือง/ป้ายประกาศสถานีรถไฟของพื้นที่นั้นๆ เพราะ “วันโอบ้ง” อาจไม่ตรงกันทุกจังหวัด ไฮไลต์ที่คนส่วนใหญ่อยากเห็นในงานโอบ้งคือ “บงโอโดริ (Bon Odori)” การเต้นรำเป็นวงกลมเพื่อรำลึกถึงบรรพบุรุษ โดยจะเต้นวนรอบเวที “ยากุระ” (櫓) และมีเสียงกลองไทโกะช่วยเพิ่มจังหวะ สนุกแต่ไม่ยาก มือใหม่ก็ทำตามคนข้างๆ ได้เลย บรรยากาศจะเป็นแนวครอบครัว เด็กๆ ผู้ใหญ่ ผู้สูงอายุออกมาเต้นด้วยกัน น่ารักมาก อีกอย่างที่ทำให้งานโอบ้งเป็น “เทศกาลฤดูร้อน” จริงๆ คือคนใส่ยูกาตะกันเยอะมาก ถ้าอยากกลมกลืน แค่แต่งโทนเรียบๆ ใส่รองเท้าที่เดินสบายก็พอ เพราะต้องเดินดูร้านแผงลอยเยอะ แถวงานมักมีของกินงานวัดญี่ปุ่น เช่น ยากิโซบะ (焼そば) ของทอด น้ำแข็งไส และขนมต่างๆ (แต่ละเมืองมีเมนูเด่นไม่เหมือนกัน) ทริคเล็กๆ ถ้าจะไปงานโอบ้งครั้งแรก: ไปถึงก่อนฟ้ามืดนิดนึงจะได้เดินถ่ายบรรยากาศตอนยังเห็นฉากหลังชัดๆ แล้วค่อยรอช่วงเปิดไฟ/เริ่มเต้น Bon Odori ช่วงค่ำ บรรยากาศจะอบอุ่นขึ้นอีกระดับ และถ้าคนเยอะมากให้ยืนดูด้านข้างวงก่อน พอเริ่มจับจังหวะได้ค่อยเข้าไปเต้น จะสนุกขึ้นและไม่เกร็งค่ะ

Stardew: Desert Festival Tips (no spoilers)
Here’s my top tips to prepare for the new festival! A 3 day desert festival happens Spring 15-17 in the 1.6 update. A lot happens & I restarted 3 times to get it right! Tip 1: Get there as early as possible. Either use a warp totem at 6am or go to the bus. The earliest I tried was 9am
