Kimekomi Exhibit during Obon Festival Celebration

Obon Festival is a Japanese Buddhist celebration that commemorates and remembers deceased ancestors.    In this year's celebration at Florin Buddhist Church, there are exhibits of traditional Japanese art.   We thank Carolyn Sawaii for sharing these photos of the Kimekomi dolls and animals.

Kimekomi doll making requires taking rigorous classes and taking on projects to qualify for advancement.   Carolyn has achieved high level of skill to pass many levels of examination.
