DESCRIPTION:Join Hawi Jodo Mission for its 2018 obon festival! The obon tra
 dition was brought to Hawaii by Japanese immigrants. Throughout the years 
 it has evolved into a social and cultural event\, as well as a religious c
 ustom  designed to honor our ancestors through an evening of dance\, music
  and  merry-making.\n\nDue to the request of immigrants who worked on the 
 sugar  plantation in 1905\, Rev. Yukei Kimura taught the Japanese language
  and  Buddhism to the children of Hawi. Though the original temple buildin
 g  was constructed in 1900\, Rev. Ohzen Suzuki built the classrooms in 190
 6.  The building completion ceremony was held in conjunction with the  arr
 ival of the statue of Amida Buddha on November 27\, 1909. Early in World W
 ar II\, the Japanese building was confiscated. The  building was then used
  as the American Legion Hall until it was returned  to the Mission in 1981
 .\n\nSaturday\, 8/4 - 6:00 p.m.\; service: 5:30 p.m.\n\n<a href="http://ww
