1. New model Quoreluché white mon-tem and Nadeshiko
Quoreluché features a rounded, adorable design that is not limited to Japanese or Western styles, allowing it to be displayed in any room.
It has a presence as an Obon decoration, yet was designed to be used repeatedly every year without becoming boring.
Two types of fire bags for use next year
Typically, white lanterns are used only during the new Obon and disposed of after the send-off fire (*), but Quoreluché includes a Nadeshiko-patterned fire bag that can be used for subsequent Obon festivals.
You can prepare this economical lantern without needing additional patterned lanterns for each year.
Only one stand is included, so you can change decorations and continue using it.
The Nadeshiko pattern is designed to warmly welcome the spirits of loved ones.
*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 now 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, without using fire.
