From Wikipedia: “Gozan no Okuribi (五山送り火), more commonly known as Daimonji (大文字), is a festival in Kyoto, Japan. It is the culmination of the Obon festival on August 16, in which five giant bonfires are lit on mountains surrounding the city. It signifies the moment when the spirits of deceased family members, who are said to visit this world during O-Bon, are believed to be returning to the spirit world—thus the name Okuribi (送り火, roughly, "send-off fire")”

Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Sento Kuyo Festival 2013 化野念仏寺の千灯供養 por Patrick Vierthaler
An Eisa and Jangara performance in memory of the victims of the earthquake and tsunami. They performed in the cold for several hours, to a small crowd gathered at the Tsuru no Ashiyu. Eisa is said to be related to Jangara. Both are O-Bon dances, and it is posited that Eisa began when a monk named Taichu (from what is now Iwaki) travelled down to Okinawa, converting the king to Buddhism and possibly sharing this dance in addition to nenbutsu songs. The true origins are not fully known, but this possible connection was brought up when the various groups talked about the reasons behind their performances.
