Details: This is a Hasegawa original product that uses crepe to represent one of the Obon decorations, ``cows and horses''.
With its cute form and size, it is a popular item that can be used not only for Obon events but also as an accessory to add a seasonal feel to your room.

[Cow and horse decorations essential for Obon]
The ``gyuuma'' displayed at Obon are the vehicles used by our ancestors to travel between this world and the next, and it is said to have the meaning of returning quickly on a horse and returning home slowly on a cow.
In the past, cucumbers were decorated with horses and eggplants were decorated with legs made of chopsticks, etc., but in response to the summer heat that hurts vegetables and requests for something that can be used every year instead of raw produce that would be thrown away, we have created crepe products.
A black painted stage (board) to decorate the cow and horse and a lotus flower, a summer flower representative of Buddhism, are included.

[Made of cute crepe]
Chirimen is a type of traditional Japanese textile. Unlike regular cloth, it is made by intentionally shrinking the cloth by using twisted (twisted) threads, so that unevenness appears on the surface of the cloth.
It has a good texture and is gentle to the touch, so it is widely used as a fabric for Japanese clothing.
Chirimen creates a luxurious and calming atmosphere, so it is increasingly being used for clothing such as kimono, miscellaneous goods such as furoshiki, purses, covers of stamp books, and Japanese accessories, as well as Buddhist utensils such as prayer beads and fukusa.

As the name ``Premium'' suggests, this product is different from regular chirimen cows and horses, and has a saddle attached so that your ancestors can ride in a more luxurious vehicle and return home for Obon. This is a cute product that combines handmade gentleness and luxury.

[Popular points]
It's palm-sized so you can easily display it anywhere.
With its cute form and size, it can be displayed in entrances, living rooms, etc., and is popular as an accessory to add a seasonal feel to your room, even outside of Obon events.

The legs may open or float as if they are starting to walk, and if you are unable to properly ground the animal when decorating, please adjust the legs by gently opening them.

[Made by Kyoto Yumiya]
We teamed up with Yumemi-ya, a company that produces interior accessories and miscellaneous goods using crepe, to develop our original crepe Gyuuma Premium.

[About Obon]
Obon is an event to welcome the spirits of our ancestors and deceased family members into this world. It begins with the ``Okuribi'' to welcome the spirits, and ends with the ``Okuribi'' to send them off.
At home, Bon lanterns are set up as welcoming fires and okuribi to commemorate the souls of ancestors and deceased family members. It's time for your ancestors to return once a year, so let's do our best to accommodate them to the best of our ability.

In the past, it was common for the deceased's family to prepare white lanterns for the New Bon Festival, and relatives and acquaintances to prepare Bon lanterns with other designs (lanterns used every year), but with changes in living environments in recent years, the place to display them has changed.・As the space has changed from a Buddhist altar room to a living room to suit the home, there is a tendency for the deceased's family to prepare all the lanterns and tray supplies, and relatives and acquaintances to prepare offerings (cash, incense, etc.).

Also, the timing to start decorating differs from household to household. Decorations are mainly done over four days, from the 13th, the first day of Obon (Mukekobon), to the 16th, the last day of the Obon festival, but since it would be a rush to start decorating on the day of Obon, many people start decorating little by little as soon as the Obon month (July or August) begins.

Hasegawa will respond to your various requests regarding Obon memorial services.
