毎年八月三日に施餓鬼会 Segaki-E on August 3 every year.

- quote
The segaki (施餓鬼, "feeding the hungry ghosts")

is a ritual of Japanese Buddhism, traditionally performed to stop the suffering of the such restless ghosts/monsters as gaki, jikininki and the muenbotoke (the dead who have no living relatives), ghosts tormented by insatiable hunger.
Alternatively, the ritual forces them to return to their portion of hell or keeps the spirits of the dead from falling into the realm of the gaki.
The segaki may be performed at any time, but traditionally performed as part of the yearly Urabon'e services in July to remember the dead and the segaki ritual for offering alms to specifically hungry gaki or muenbotoke, not for spirits of one's ancestor.
The ritual is held at Buddhist temples and there is a custom to place segaki-dana (rack for gaki) or gaki-dana (shelf for gaki) at home, present offerings (traditionally rice and water) for hungry ghosts who are wandering in this world as muenbotoke during Urabon'e or O-bon.
