[Kyoto Yumemiya Made]
In collaboration with Yumemiya, which handles interior accessories and miscellaneous goods made with chirimen, we developed our original series of seasonal chirimen arrangement boxes.
Yumemiya's products are all handmade from design to manufacturing, carefully crafted by Kyoto artisans one by one.

Chirimen is a traditional Japanese woven fabric. Unlike regular cloth, it uses twisted (braided) threads to intentionally shrink the fabric, creating a surface with a textured, uneven appearance.
It has a good texture and a gentle 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, the covers of goshuincho (stamp books), Japanese accessories, and increasingly for Buddhist altar items such as juzu bags and fukusa (cloth for wrapping sacred objects).

[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, do your best to offer warm hospitality within your means.

Traditionally,White lanterns for the new Obonwere 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 offerings (cash, incense, etc.), while relatives and acquaintances prepare offerings.Furthermore, the timing to start decorating varies by household. Although the main display period is from the 13th (the first day of Obon, the 'Mukaebi') to the 16th (the last day), many start gradually decorating in the Obon month (July or August) in advance to avoid rushing on the day itself.Hasegawa responds to various requests regarding Obon offerings and memorial services.
