Are you ready for Obon?
Obon is a ceremony to welcome the spirits of ancestors and loved ones who have passed away into this world. 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 deceased family members. Since it is the time once a year when ancestors return, do your best to welcome them with heartfelt hospitality.
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 way of decorating has shifted from Buddhist altar rooms to living rooms and other spaces, with families preparing all lanterns and supplies, while relatives and acquaintances often bring offerings (cash, incense, etc.).Furthermore, the timing of decoration varies by household. Decorations are usually started from the 13th (迎え盆) to the 16th (最終日), but since decorating on the day can be hectic, many start gradually during the Obon month (July or August).Hasegawa responds to various requests regarding Obon offerings and decorations.
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。
