This is a household altar for after the funeral.
The household altar for after the funeral (*1) is often prepared by the funeral company, but depending on the funeral style such as family funerals or direct cremations (funerals without wake or funeral service, only cremation), there are cases where the household altar is not prepared, so it has been made available for individual purchase.
It can be assembled without tools, and when not in use, it can be folded and stored. It is lightweight, making it easy to handle.

Additionally, it can be used as a Bon shelf (*2) for Bon decorations such as Shinbon or Shinbon, used during Obon.
Please use it if you need to prepare a altar yourself.
Available in two sizes: a compact two-tier altar and a three-tier altar that can hold more offerings. You can choose according to the space for worship and your style of memorial service.

*1 What is a household altar for after the funeral
The household altar for after the funeral is an altar used temporarily at home to enshrine the deceased’s remains or white wooden memorial tablet. It is called a "temporary altar," "home decoration," "post-altar," and in the Kansai region, "Chuin-dan."
It is often set up immediately after the family returns from the crematorium, but when some family members do not attend the cremation, it may be set up after all family members gather at home.
The household altar for after the funeral is generally set up at home to remember the deceased and remains in place from after the cremation until the end of the mourning period (after the 49th-day memorial service).

*2 What is a Bon shelf (spirit shelf)
During Obon, it is common to use a shelf to display decorations, in addition to the usual Buddhist altar. The altar used during Obon is called a "Bon shelf (bonda)" or "Spirit shelf (shoryo-dana)," where the memorial tablet is enshrined at the top to welcome the ancestors.
The memorial tablet is used as a proxy (yorishiro) for the ancestors to return, so during Obon, offerings, decorations, and Bon lanterns are placed on the Bon shelf to welcome and entertain the spirits.
By placing the memorial tablet as a shintai (sacred object), the ancestors are believed to return. During Obon, offerings such as food, decorations, and lanterns are displayed on the Bon shelf to honor the spirits.

By installing reinforcement plates inside, it prevents deformation and sagging due to the weight of items placed on it.
It comes with a subtle patterned cloth that makes the offerings stand out. It is sewn in three dimensions along the shape of the altar, so it can be completed simply by draping it over.
Additionally, a flame-retardant base sheet, convenient for placing incense and candles on only the two-tier altar, is included.
A cardboard photo stand that can be assembled just along the creases and is easy to set up is also included.
It can hold frames up to approximately 1.7cm thick.

[About Obon]
Obon is a traditional event to welcome the spirits of ancestors and close family members who have passed away into this world. It begins with "Mukaebi" (welcoming fire) and ends with "Okuribi" (sending fire).
At home, Bon lanterns are arranged as Mukaebi and Okuribi to honor the spirits of ancestors and deceased family members. Since it is the time once a year when ancestors return, do your best to offer warm hospitality within your means.

Traditionally, white Bon lanterns for Shinbon were prepared by the family of the deceased, while other patterned Bon lanterns (used annually) were prepared by relatives or acquaintances. However, due to recent changes in living environments, the placement and space for decorations have shifted from Buddhist altars to living rooms and other areas, leading to a trend where the family of the deceased prepares all the lanterns and Bon supplies, while relatives and acquaintances prepare offerings (cash, incense, etc.).

Also, the timing for starting decorations varies by household. While decorations are centered around the 13th (Obon start day) to the 16th (final day), many start gradually in the Obon month (July or August) to avoid rushing on the day itself.
