Kyoto's Gozan Okuribi is a traditional festival that takes place during the Obon season.
It's a ritual to guide the spirits of ancestors, who have returned for Obon, back to the other world. On a summer night, large bonfires are lit on five different mountains, forming characters and shapes such as the kanji for "dai" (, large) and "myoho"
(妙法, wonderful dharma).
