【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 the 'Mukaebi' (welcoming fire) and ends with the 'Okuribi' (sending fire).
In households, 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, it is customary to do one's best to welcome them.

Traditionally,white lanterns for Shinbonwere prepared by the family of the deceased, and otherdecorated Bon lanterns (used annually)were generally prepared by relatives and acquaintances. However, due to recent changes in living environments, the placement and space for decorations have shifted from Buddhist altar rooms to living rooms and other areas, leading to a trend where the family of the deceased prepares all the lanterns and offerings (cash, incense, etc.), while relatives and acquaintances prepare offerings.Furthermore, the timing to start decorating varies by household. Although decorations are centered around the 13th (beginning of Obon) to the 16th (final day), many start gradually in the Obon month (July or August) to avoid rushing on the day itself.Hasegawa responds to various requests regarding Obon memorial services.
