【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).
Within the household, Bon lanterns are set up as Mukaebi and Okuribi to honor the spirits of ancestors and deceased family members. Since it is the time when ancestors return once a year, do your best to offer hospitality within your means.

Traditionally,white lanterns for the new Bon (Obon)were prepared by the family of the deceased, whilepatterned Bon lanterns (used annually)were generally prepared by relatives and 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, leading to the trend that the family of the deceasedprepares all lanterns and Bon supplies, while relatives and acquaintances prepare offerings (cash, incense, etc.).Furthermore, the timing for decorating varies by household. Although it is centered around the four days from the 13th (the first day of Obon) to the 16th (the last day), many start decorating gradually during the Obon month (July or August) to avoid rushing on the day itself.

At Segawa, we respond to various requests regarding Obon offerings and customs.
