The day after our Bon Dance in Kailua, volunteers arrived bright and early to disassemble and store the yagura; pack up unsold rummage items for donation; put away tables; do a thorough sweeping and mopping; and, finally, arrange the chairs into rows in the hondo.
By mid-Sunday morning, you wouldn't have even known that just 18 hours earlier, we had welcomed hundreds of people to our temple for our annual Bon Dance.
