I saw Okuribi.

After Daimonnji it become autumn.

Summer end

.Okuribi is a fire lit to send the souls of
deceased ancestors on their way after
they have returned to this world for the bon festival.
In the Daimonji Okuribi festival, 5 mountains (gozan)
are used as the stage for an okuribi of huge proportions.
The festival starts at 8:00 p.m.,
when fires are lit on Mt. Nyoigatake to
form the Chinese character dai, meaning "large".
After this, more fires are lit separately on each mountain to form different patterns.
