1. New Model Small Pearl Set White & Nadeshiko
The small pearl is a cute, rounded mini lantern that takes up little space and can be placed easily.
While traditional white lanterns for the new Obon are mainly hanging types, this design as a stand type allows for flexible placement near the Buddhist altar, entrance, or living room.
Easy to assemble without tools; see the video for assembly instructions.
Includes two types of fire bags that can be used again next year.
Regular white lanterns are typically used only during the new Obon and disposed of during the sending fire (※), but the small pearl includes a Nadeshiko-patterned fire bag that can be used for subsequent Obon festivals.
An economical lantern that does not require additional patterned lanterns, as it can be used repeatedly.
Only one stand is included, so you can change the decorations and continue using it.
The fire bag designed with Nadeshiko pattern and pink gradient allows you to warmly welcome the departed loved ones.
※The white lantern is used as a marker during the new Obon and is not used in subsequent years.
Originally, lanterns were burned along with the fire during sending fire, but nowadays it is often difficult, so some people cut out the fire bag part and burn it together, or dispose of it according to local regulations, avoiding fire altogether.

Are you ready for Obon?
Obon is a traditional event to welcome the spirits of ancestors and deceased family members. It begins with the '迎え火' (Welcoming Fire) and ends with the '送り火' (Sending Fire).
In households, lanterns are arranged as迎え火 and送り火 to honor the spirits of ancestors and departed loved ones. Since it is the only time of year the ancestors return, do your best to prepare and welcome them.
Traditionally,white lanterns for the new Obonwere prepared by the family of the deceased, whilelanterns with painted designs (used annually) were generally prepared by relatives or acquaintances.However, due to recent changes in living environments, the placement and space for decoration have shifted from Buddhist altar rooms to living rooms and other areas, leading families toprepare all lanterns and Bon supplies themselves, while relatives and acquaintances often only bring offerings (cash, incense, etc.).Furthermore, the timing for starting decorations varies by household. Decorations are typically set up from the 13th (迎え盆) to the 16th (最終日), but to avoid rushing on the day, many start gradually from the Obon month (July or August).
Hasegawa responds to various requests regarding Obon offerings and decorations, accommodating diverse needs.
