Hi, Mauricio, thanks for introducing this interesting event of your tradition.  We Japanese also have similar event to welcome the spirit of the ancestors.

FWIW, I started a dedicated thread for sharing various traditional events and festivals from all over the world, taking advantage of this international forum.  Hope you are interested!
