*White lanterns are used as markers during the new Obon and are not used in subsequent years.
Originally, lanterns were burned along with the send-off fire, but nowadays it is often difficult, so some people cut the fire bag slightly to burn it together or dispose of it according to local rules, avoiding fire altogether.

Are your preparations for Obon complete?
Obon is a festival to迎えるthe spirits of ancestors and deceased family members. It begins with迎え火 to welcome the spirits and ends with送り火 to send them off.
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 only time of the year when ancestors return, do your best to offer hospitality within your means.
Traditionally,
White lanterns for the new Obon are prepared by the family of the deceased, whilepatterned lanterns (used every year) are usually 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 the family of the deceased often prepares all lanterns and Obon supplies, while relatives and acquaintances prepare offerings (cash, incense, etc.).Also, the timing for starting to decorate varies by household. Decorations are usually put up from the 13th (迎え盆) to the 16th (最終日), but since decorating on the day can be hectic, many start gradually from 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。
