The ninth annual LANTERN FLOATING CEREMONY is a Buddhist tradition in Japan and is conducted to pay tribute to our ancestors and comfort the deceased. Some 900 wood lanterns will be released from canoes, then later retrieved and recycled. The lanterns carry prayers for loved ones and for victims of natural disasters, famines, disease and war.
