Today is Unkay's Day

In Okinawa, Obon is held in the lunar calendar, so this year's Obon is three days from 8/10 to 8/12. The first day of the tray is called "Unke", the second day is called "Nakanuhi", and the third day is called "Wookui".

The altar decoration of the “Old Uezato family” in Ryukyu Kingdom Castle Town Okinawa World has also become a tray specification. You can freely go up to the former Uezato family and relax, so please take a look at this opportunity.

The offering of Obon in Okinawa is like this. (It varies by region and time.) Sugar cane is called gusanooge and is used instead of the cane of your ancestors. It seems that there are places where the spirit horses made by Basho are offered. On the mainland, we make eggplants and cucumbers, right?

On Unke's day, we welcome your ancestors with incense sticks in front of the house.

During the Bon Festival, a table is served on the Buddhist altar every three meals.

Usanmi (9 side dishes such as shami, kelp and kamaboko) and rice cake in the photo will be served for dinner on the last Ukui day.

On the night of the day of Ukui, the money of Gusaw (the afterlife) is burned, the mold made of yellow paper, and the ancestors are sent out to the world. The custom of burning this mold was introduced from China, and it seems that there are similar customs in Taiwan and South Korea.

The old Uezato family also has a reading material that explains how to worship, etc., so you can do it while reading it.

May your ancestors return safely.
