Are you ready for Obon?
Obon is a ceremony to welcome the spirits of ancestors and deceased family members. It begins with the welcoming fire (迎え火) and ends with the sending-off fire (送り火).
In households, lanterns are set up as welcoming and sending-off fires to honor the spirits of ancestors and departed loved ones. Since it is a once-a-year event, do your best to offer hospitality within your means.
Traditionally,
White lanterns for new Obon
were prepared by the family of the deceased, while
lanterns 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, leading families of the deceased toprepare all lanterns and Obon supplies themselves, while relatives and acquaintances tend to offer offerings (cash, incense, etc.).Also, the timing for starting decorations varies by household. Decorations are usually started from around 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 customs.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。
