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 Bon 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. Please see the video for assembly instructions.
Includes two fire bags that can be used again next year.
Regular white lanterns are used only during the new Bon and disposed of during the sending fire (※), but the small pearl includes a Nadeshiko-patterned fire bag that can be used even after the new Bon.
An economical lantern that does not require additional patterned lanterns for the next Obon.
Since only one stand is included, it can be reused by changing the decorations.
The fire bag designed with Nadeshiko pattern and pink gradient allows you to warmly迎える the departed loved ones.
※The white lantern is used as a marker during the new Bon and is not used in subsequent years.
Originally, lanterns were burned along with the fire during sending-off, 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 ceremony 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, Bon lanterns are arranged as迎え火 and送り火 to honor the spirits of ancestors and departed family members. Since it is the once-a-year occasion when ancestors return, do your best to offer a warm welcome within your means.
Traditionally,White lanterns for the new Bonwere prepared by the family of the deceased, whilelanterns with painted patterns (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 altars to living rooms and other areas, leading families of the deceased toprepare all lanterns and Bon items themselves, while relatives and acquaintances tend to offer offerings (cash, incense, etc.).Furthermore, the timing for starting decorations varies by household. Decorations are usually started from July or August during the Bon month, especially from the 13th (迎え盆) to the 16th, but to avoid rushing, many start gradually from the beginning of the Bon month.
