People who have custom of making Shouryouuma generally make Shouryouuma first, after that, they visit the grave. The spirits’ of our ancestors come back to our house on August 12, when they need Shouryouuma. Most people go to the graves to clean them later, maybe on 15 or 16.

The sentence I put the (*) next too is fine as it is, but you could add:
.... duration of Bon and retrieve it when the festival is over.
