Hi Jon,
I've always wondered how the Japanese cemeteries work. They're small, so I guess they keep only ashes there. And those wooden sticks, I was told every year they get one new stick during a certain festival or dates? And as with everything in Japan, they're very neat. I even stumbled onto one on a hike in the forest and didn't realise it was one!

Hi Brian,
I'm not exactly sure how Japanese cemeteries work myself, but cremation is the norm so only ashes are kept there. I think the festival/date you're referring to is obon. This year the obon holiday is 13th - 16th August. People traditionally visit family graves and clean them, replace the wooden sticks etc.
Mid-August is also the hottest time of the year here, and so the story goes, too hot for the spirits to stay in their graves.
More info here.
