※1 About the New Bon
The first Obon after the death of a loved one, when the 49th day (忌明け) has passed, is called "Shinbon" (新盆, 初盆).
Shinbon is the day when the spirit of the deceased first returns home. It is customary to invite a priest to recite sutras and to serve food to those gathered.
Depending on the region, white lanterns without pictures are used for Bon lanterns. These white lanterns are used only in the year of the Shinbon and are disposed of after Obon.

For Obon after Shinbon
Every year after Shinbon, during Obon, a ceremony is held to welcome the spirits of ancestors and deceased family members.
It begins with the "迎え火" (Welcoming Fire) to receive the spirits and ends with the "送り火" (Sending Fire) to send them off.
Within householdsDecorative Bon lanterns with picturesare displayed as Welcoming Fire and Sending Fire to honor the spirits of ancestors and deceased family members.

【About Obon】
Obon is a traditional event 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).
Within households, lanterns are arranged as Welcoming and Sending Fires 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 welcome them within your means.

Traditionally,white lanterns for Shinbonwere prepared by the family of the deceased, whiledecorative Bon lanterns (used annually) with pictures 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 altars to living rooms and other areas, leading families of the deceased toprepare all lanterns and Bon supplies themselves, while relatives and acquaintances tend to offer offerings (cash, incense, etc.).Furthermore, the timing for starting to decorate varies by household. While the decoration is centered around the 13th (the first day of Obon) to the 16th (final day), many start decorating gradually during the Obon month (July or August) to avoid rushing on the day itself.

Hasegawa responds to various requests regarding Obon offerings and ceremonies.

伝統的な白提灯をミニチュア化

従来の新盆用の白提灯は吊り下げ型が主流でしたが、白紋天スタンドは伝統的な形をそのままにミニチュア化した上でスタンドが付属した提灯です。お仏壇の近くや玄関・リビングなど自由に飾れるようにしました。
ご自宅に提灯を吊るす場所があるご家庭では、スタンドを使わずに省スペースで飾るやり方もできます。

LEDキャンドルについて

ローソクの形を模したLEDキャンドルはボタン電池(CR2032)を使用します。
テスト用の電池がセットされていますので、まずはそのままお使いください。

電池を交換するには、
本体カバーを開けます。
ボタン電池の「＋」面が上になるように電池を交換します。
カバーを装着します。
の順でセットします。
※スイッチは裏面のON/OFFボタンです。

ライトは大切な方への「道標」

提灯のライトを点けると、ローソクの炎に似た自然なオレンジ色の光がこぼれます。
お盆は大切な方が年に一度ご自宅に帰ってきてくれる大切な行事。
「どうか迷わずに帰ってきて欲しい」という願いを込めながら、夜はライトを点灯させて下さい。
※火袋から伸びる紐は、クロスした状態で提灯をかけて使用します。

商品サイズ

土台の幅13×高さ42(cm)とコンパクトなサイズです。
盆棚の上・チェストの上など、何かの台の上に飾ることを想定した提灯で、どこにでも飾れる手軽さを感じられます。
玄関・リビングなどにも飾っておけるため、吊るす場所がない方や、外に掛けることに抵抗がある方におすすめです。

ご使用が終わったら

白提灯(当商品)は新盆の時に目印として使われるため、翌年以降は使用しません。
本来は送り火の際に提灯ごと燃やしていましたが、現在だと難しいことが多いため、火袋部分を少しだけ切り取って一緒に燃やすなど小規模にしたり、各自治体のルールに従い処分するなど、火を使わないで処分する方もいらっしゃいます。

※ローソク電池灯は非常灯などにご使用いただければと思います。
※箱の中身をご確認いただき、ご処分をお願いします。

お盆の準備はお済ですか？

お盆は、ご先祖様や身近に亡くなったご家族の御霊をこの世にお迎えする行事です。御霊をお迎えする「迎え火」に始まり、お見送りする「送り火」に終わります。
ご家庭の中では盆提灯を迎え火・送り火としてしつらえ、ご先祖様や亡きご家族の魂を供養します。年に一度のご先祖様が帰ってくる時なので、できる範囲で精一杯のおもてなしをしましょう。

旧来は新盆用の白提灯は故人様の家族が用意し、それ以外の絵柄の入った盆提灯(毎年使用する提灯)は親戚・知人が用意するといった流れが一般的でしたが、近年の住環境の変化に伴い、飾る場所・スペースも仏間からリビングなどご家庭に合わせたやり方になってきた影響で、故人様の家族が提灯・盆用品を全て用意し、親戚・知人はお供え(現金やお線香など)を用意される傾向にあります。

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。
