Last night, along with the rest of Kyoto, we enjoyed watching the “Gozan no Okuribi“ (which translates to Send-off Bonfires of Five Mountains). Marking the end of Obon, it is a way to wish safe passage to the spirits of deceased loved ones that visited over the past several days. Now rested and refreshed, we are back to ship your orders. Don’t forget to save 20% with code OBON for any orders $50+ USD. Only 24 hours left. (Valid until August 18, 6pm JST, one time use only).
