It’s been very very hot throughout in Japan.
It’s very hot in Nagasaki too.
Many things went on in AKARI in August and we have welcomed many guests.
On August 9th, we brought thousands of paper cranes to hypocenter.
And we donate them while wishing for peace.
On 15th of August, Syorou Nagashi, 精霊流し, was held.
It’s an annual event based on buddhism.
They make a ship for their relative who passed away this year or last year.
Ship is said to go to heaven on 15th of August at once.
Ships are decorated with many things that loved one used to like.
They carry the ships to Nagasaki port.
On the way to the port, they make fire on firecracker because noisy sounds let the souls stay away from bad things.
This guest had a happy birthday in August.
We celebrated his birthday with other guests bu singing happy birthday.
She made a surprise for him by decorating balloons and cake.
It was a happy moment.
