Bon Odori 2010

Bon Odori (盆踊り, meaning simply Bon dance) is an event held during Obon. It is celebrated as a reminder of the gratitude one should feel toward one's ancestors
In Malaysia, Bon Odori Festivals are also celebrated every year in Penang and at the Matsushita Corp Stadium in Shah Alam, Selangor. This celebration, which is a major attraction for the state of Selangor, is the brain child of the Japanese Expatriate & Immigrant's Society in Malaysia. In comparison to the celebrations in Japan, the festival is celebrated on a much smaller scale in Penang and Selangor, and is less associated with Buddhism and more with Japanese culture. Held mainly to expose locals to a part of Japanese culture, the festival provides the experience of a variety of Japanese food & drinks, art and dance.
The tourism Selangor has a website dedicated to inform the public on the updates of the upcoming Bon Odori. It also states certain rules for people to participate in such as no high-heels in the dancing field, strictly no smoking for designated areas, wear nothing impolite or offensive and also no cosplaying
