Souls Festival

This summer Hikone had a Souls Festival. Lanterns were hung to remember the soldiers that lost their lives in World War II. Each lantern represented a soldier's soul whose life was taken during combat. Over 200,000 lanterns were hung up. The lanterns marked out a trail and at the end of the path there was a shrine for people to pray.
