Gratitude (Memorial) Ceremony

At Hare to Kurasu, we offer a proxy gratitude (memorial) ceremony service so that you can peacefully and without regret part with seasonal decorations that have fulfilled their purpose.

From Hina dolls that have watched over your child's growth to carp streamers, Hagoita, and Yamabushi bows, you must have made many memories with them.
A gratitude ceremony is a ceremony held at a shrine to offer memorial services for seasonal dolls that have fulfilled their purpose after your child has grown up and become independent.

At Hare to Kurasu, so that you can peacefully part with seasonal items that have fulfilled their purpose, we accept unwanted seasonal decorations, Hina dolls, New Year decorations, and carp streamers from customers nationwide all year round for a flat memorial fee of ¥5,000, and perform the "Doll Gratitude (Memorial) Ceremony" at Waki Shrine to offer memorial services.

After the memorial service, Waki Shrine will send you a "Prayer Certificate" as proof that the items were safely burned in a memorial fire.
