"Obon" is a Japanese tradition culture. It is believed that the ancestor visit their house on 15 August. And we visit a grave. This photo is of cows made from cucumber and eggplant. We believe that our ancestor ride on them from the next world.

Many companies take "Obon" holiday at this point. My company take it from August 13 to 16.

Not bad there is just a few problems with your grammar but nothing too bad.

You need to add an "s" at the end of ancestor to indicate more than one person otherwise it seems as if your talking about just one person.
