Significado: The Buddhist festival honouring ancestors, now primarily known as a major holiday week when the whole country heads home.

盂兰盆节——纪念祖先的佛教节日，如今更广为人知的是全国返乡的重大假期。

El festival budista en honor a los antepasados, conocido hoy principalmente como una semana festiva importante en la que todo el país vuelve a casa.

조상을 기리는 불교 명절로, 현재는 온 나라가 귀성하는 대규모 연휴 주간으로 더 알려져 있다.

Originally a solemn Buddhist observance to welcome ancestral spirits back to the living world, お盆 has become one of Japan's three major holiday periods (alongside Golden Week and New Year). While many families still perform traditional rituals like visiting graves and lighting welcoming fires, for many modern Japanese, お盆 simply means a week off work and the chaos of 帰省ラッシュ (homecoming rush). The blend of spiritual tradition and holiday practicality makes it quintessentially Japanese.

最初是迎接祖先灵魂回到人间的庄严佛教仪式，お盆已经成为日本三大假期之一（与黄金周和新年并列）。虽然许多家庭仍然会进行扫墓和点迎火等传统仪式，但对很多现代日本人来说，お盆只是意味着一周的假期和帰省ラッシュ（返乡高峰）的混乱。精神传统与假日实用性的融合使它成为典型的日本特色。

Originalmente una solemne celebración budista para dar la bienvenida a los espíritus de los antepasados al mundo de los vivos, お盆 se ha convertido en uno de los tres grandes periodos vacacionales de Japón (junto con la Golden Week y Año Nuevo). Aunque muchas familias aún realizan rituales tradicionales como visitar las tumbas y encender fuegos de bienvenida, para muchos japoneses modernos, お盆 simplemente significa una semana libre y el caos de la 帰省ラッシュ (avalancha de regreso a casa). La mezcla de tradición espiritual y pragmatismo vacacional lo convierte en algo quintaesencialmente japonés.

원래는 조상의 영혼을 이승으로 맞이하는 엄숙한 불교 행사였으나, お盆은 골든위크, 설날과 함께 일본 3대 연휴 기간 중 하나가 되었다. 많은 가정이 여전히 성묘와 맞이불 피우기 같은 전통 의식을 지키지만, 현대 일본인에게 お盆은 단순히 일주일간의 휴가와 帰省ラッシュ(귀성 러시)의 혼란을 의미하기도 한다. 영적 전통과 휴가의 실용성이 어우러진 전형적인 일본적 풍경이다.
