      しんぼん only in nikk, and oukoku with a reference to にいぼん; [rk]
      あらぼん is in most references
      
      Interestingly 新盆・にいぼん has 0 hits in BCCWJ (though 3 in CEJC) compared to 35 for 新盆・あらぼん.
      新盆・しんぼん has 0 as expected.
      
      Yet references seem more inclined towards にいぼん, with frequency data from JPDBv2 also pointing towards it.
      Leaving those two be for now
