Each summer in Japan the country celebrates the Obon summer break.  Although Obon is a Buddhist ceremony celebrating the spirits of the dead, the living use the time, a clumped together group of national holidays, to take a break during the hottest time on the Japanese calendar.  We follow the used car auctions leads and give our staff a break.  The following auction holiday schedule  will be followed.  Note we are open for bidding when the auctions are open, though the other staff will be on a break.
