Abstract
A flash ethnography piece set at an Obon event in Hawai'i, “In Their Footsteps,” shows the way the author deploys dance as a method. By asking the reader to follow her through a day of fieldwork at a Soto Buddhist temple, the piece demonstrates how the anthropologist learns about the culture by absorbing and matching the movements of her interlocutors, both when they are dancing and when they are not.
