Background of the Renewal | Challenges in Obon Preparation Due to Changes in Housing Environment
In recent years, with changes in housing environments, particularly in urban areas, there has been an increasing concern about "not having enough space to set up Obon decorations."
At Hasegawa Buddhist Altars stores, many customers express a desire to welcome Obon with heartfelt devotion but consult us about not having sufficient space for Obon shelves or lanterns, or finding traditional sizes difficult to install. These constraints due to housing environments have become a challenge for modern Obon memorial services. Recognizing these issues, Hasegawa has relaunched this special website to strengthen proposals tailored to modern lifestyles, enabling people to celebrate Obon without difficulty even in limited spaces.
Proposing Obon Lanterns that Combine Functionality and Beauty
Our company offers a wide range of Obon lanterns that are easy to incorporate into modern living while cherishing the traditional Obon event.
In addition to functional features such as compact design and cordless specifications, we offer products with modern designs that harmonize with living room spaces. By combining compact Obon lanterns like the "Cocolan Series" and space-saving "Mini Bon-dana" (Obon shelves), it is possible to decorate for Obon without difficulty even in limited spaces such as living room shelves.
