What is chirimen
Chirimen is a traditional Japanese woven fabric. Unlike regular cloth, it uses twisted (braided) threads to intentionally shrink the fabric, creating a textured, uneven surface.
It has a good texture and a soft feel, and is widely used as fabric for traditional Japanese clothing.
Chirimen exudes a sense of luxury and a calm atmosphere, and is often used not only for kimono but also for furoshiki, kinchaku, covers for goshuincho, Japanese accessories, and increasingly for Buddhist items such as juzu bags and fukusa (cloth for wrapping).
How to decorate the arrangement box
An example of how to decorate is explained with images.

Are you ready for Obon?
Obon is a festival to welcome the spirits of ancestors and close family members who have passed away into this world. It begins with the 'Mukaebi' (welcoming fire) to receive the spirits and ends with the 'Okuribi' (sending fire) to send them off.
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 within one's means.
Traditionally,white lanterns for the new Obon,were prepared by the family of the deceased, and otherBon lanterns with designs (used annually)were generally prepared by relatives and acquaintances. However, due to recent changes in living environments, the placement and space for display 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 Bon supplies, while relatives and acquaintances prepare offerings (cash, incense, etc.).and all Bon lanterns and supplies are prepared by the family of the deceased.Relatives and acquaintances tend to prepare offerings (cash, incense, etc.).
The timing for starting to display varies by household. Although the main display period is from the 13th (the first day of Obon, welcoming the spirits) to the 16th (the final day), many start gradually in the Obon month (July or August) to avoid the rush on the day itself.
Hasegawa responds to various requests regarding Obon memorial services.
