This is an original Hasagawa lantern decorated with a highly advanced technique called "drawing on a spherical object with bumps and indentations" without any brushstrokes.
The poetic worldview inspired by the rich natural environment of Yame, Kyushu, is created by artist Yuki Nakano. It provides comfort and tranquility in scenes that commemorate the deceased.
Luxuriously using bright-colored keyaki (zelkova) solid wood, with double layers of silk and Japanese paper, a ceramic incense holder modeled after a incense burner, and luxurious gold and silver tassels, it is finished with meticulous attention to detail.
The light emits a gentle warmth that feels as if it is quietly close by.
The Obon festival is an important event where loved ones return home once a year. Please light the lantern at night while wishing "Please come back without hesitation."
The elegant and warm fire bag features drawings of graceful hibiscus and small chrysanthemums, creating a lantern that exudes a calm yet gentle impression. The frame of the fire bag is made using a traditional and labor-intensive method of connecting many bamboo sticks, as was done in the past.
It is a lantern that further brightens the Obon decoration, welcoming important ancestors in a lively manner.

Please turn off the electricity when not in use.
