[Silver] February 24, 2019 18:00

 At the Hasegawa Ginza Main Store, famous for its Buddhist altar Hasegawa commercial, facing Ginza Street, Hina doll seemed smiling at me. The Buddha was not waving his hand, so I entered the store.

 Mr. Amida's guidance or a kind woman responded and explained.

The one I tried was a bell. When the bell rings, the lingering sound remains with Lean and a clear sound. It's the subject of the next purchase.

 In relation to Buddhist utensils, there were incense and smell bags. In the Buddhist world, it is said that Buddhas do not eat rice or fruits, but eat the scent as a meal. And it seems that this is called incense food.

 Life wrapped in a faint scent makes you feel calm.

And recently, there is a custom of giving gorgeous incense stick or candles as gifts. 

This is a Japanese sweets-style candle gift set.
