When you are finished using it
The white lantern (this product) 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 the sending-off fire, but nowadays it is often difficult, so some people cut the fire chamber part slightly to burn it together or dispose of it according to local rules without using fire.
*The candle battery light can also be used as an emergency light.
Please check the contents of the box and dispose of accordingly.

It can be used as a gift for those preparing for the Bon Festival or for personal use.

It is economical because it can be used for funerals, Bon Festival, and long-term use.
Plug-in type for easy lighting
Uses a plug-in bulb. No switch, so it can be used immediately after plugging in.
Performs a splendid lighting effect for the Bon Festival

Are your Bon Festival preparations complete?
Bonn Festival is an event to welcome the spirits of ancestors and loved ones who have passed away nearby. It begins with the "迎え火" (welcoming fire) and ends with the "送り火" (sending fire).
In your home, bon 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 once-a-year occasion when ancestors return, do your best to offer hospitality within your means.
Traditionally,White bon lanterns for the new bonare prepared by the family of the deceased, whilebon lanterns with patterns (lanterns used every year)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 to prepare all lanterns and bon supplies themselves, while relatives and acquaintances tend to bring offerings (cash, incense, etc.).prepare all lanterns and bon festival suppliesWe, Hasegawa, respond to various requests regarding Bon Festival offerings and memorial services.
Also, the timing of starting decorations varies by household. While the main period for decoration is from the 13th to the 16th of the Bon Festival (from welcoming to sending), some people start decorating little by little from the beginning of the Bon Festival month (July or August) to avoid the rush on the day itself.
