Usage notes・Product features

Japanese candle has two kinds of vermillion and white. Generally, white is used for daily light, funeral, legal requirement up to the third anniversary. Vermillion is supposed to be used when you make a wish when reporting happy things to your ancestors such as Bonin Lecture, New Year's Day, Bon Festival, Year Opinion, Legal Requirements.

Therefore, if you use the fire altar at your altar, use white color until the seventh time, after that, use vermilion things. However, as in this product, when decorating Japanese candles with paintings and Japanese candles with flowers drawn on their altar (in case of not lighting fire), the picture candle becomes a substitute for flowers So it is not a problem even if you decorate either vermillion or white color.
