In Kyoto, the traditional ceremonial bonfire will be observed this evening to see off the souls of the dead who were back in this world during these bon period days.

This modern haiku may just reflect my feelings, though.

O the farewell bonfire/

Seems they don’t want to leave/

Father and mother/

今夜は送り火が焚かれて、この世に戻っていた死者たちの魂があの世に戻っていくとされるときです。

この現代俳句は私の願望かも知れませんが。
