The season for Obon is approaching. Some regions celebrate the holiday with joyous events, such as floating lanterns, fireworks, and stalls on the premises of shrines.

For Obon, the living welcome the spirits of ancestors home on the 13th of August, spend time with them during the Obon period for the repose of the souls, and send them off on the 16th. It is the time for the commemoration of the ancestors, as well as a precious opportunity for families and relatives to meet for dinner and to spend time together.

Why not a special gift for Homecoming? Hasegawa Eiga can be purchased at our direct retail store Hasegawa Eiga Roppongi during the Obon period.
