What is Chirimen?
Chirimen is a traditional Japanese woven fabric. Unlike regular cloth, it uses twisted (braided) threads intentionally shrunk to create a surface with unevenness.
Its good texture and soft feel make it widely used as fabric for traditional Japanese clothing.
Chirimen exudes a sense of luxury and calmness, and is used not only for kimono but also for furoshiki, kinchaku, covers for goshuincho (stamp books), Japanese accessories, and increasingly for Buddhist items such as juzu bags and fukusa (cloth for wrapping).

Are you prepared for 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, do your best to host them warmly within your means.
Traditionally,
White lanterns for the new Obon
were prepared by the family of the deceased, whileLanterns with designs (used annually) were generally prepared by relatives or acquaintances.However, due to recent changes in living environments, the way of decorating has shifted from Buddhist altar rooms to living rooms and other spaces in the home, with the family of the deceased preparing all lanterns and Obon supplies, while relatives and acquaintances tend to prepare offerings (cash, incense, etc.).Furthermore, the timing for starting decorations varies by household. Although the main decoration period is from the 13th (the first day of Obon, the 'Mukaebi') to the 16th (the last 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 offerings and memorial services.提灯・盆用品を全て用意し、親戚・知人はお供え(現金やお線香など)を用意される傾向にあります。
また、飾り始めるタイミングもご家庭ごとに異なります。お盆初日(迎え盆)の13日から最終日の16日までの4日間を中心に飾るのですが、当日に飾り付けを始めるのは慌ただしくなってしまうため、お盆月(7月か8月)に入った時点で少しずつ飾り付けを始めておく方も多くいらっしゃいます。
はせがわはお盆のご供養に関しても、様々なご要望に寄り添いお応えします。
