Honoring Pets: A Heartfelt Way to Remember

As the Obon season approaches, a period when we remember our loved ones, including our beloved pets, many pet owners seek meaningful ways to express gratitude and love for their furry friends who have passed on. Coccolino, a pet memorial brand by Gendai Butsudan, helps people create comforting memorial spaces that reflect the unique personality of their pets. This article introduces thoughtful ideas for memorial decorations and new items that can accompany this special time.

Creating a Serene Memorial Space

To honor their pets, many owners choose to decorate with cherished photographs and favorite toys, creating a space that truly represents their pets' spirit. During this reflective season, special offerings and memorial items can help enhance gatherings. Here are some delightful ideas for Obon decorations that can help foster a poignant ambience:

1. Welcoming Spirits with a Spirit Horse: Decorate with a spirit horse to greet the spirits during Obon. Items featured include the bone urn monument Miyacho A, a fish-shaped incense tray, a chiri-men decoration Seirei Uma, and letter incense sticks Letako (fish).

2. Cherishing Memories with Summer Themed Items: Use colorful items to display memorable photos adorned with summer-themed decor. Featured products include the bone urn monument Wanchou B and the photo frame Tempo.
