Chez C.
praying kit
The praying tool set includes: a bundle of incense sticks, 3 larger incense joss sticks, a red candle and wrapped in layers of printed joss papers which also acts as scrolls of charms, to be burnt as message notes deliver to heaven
It has been a while since I've last visited grandma at the memorial hall.
The Chinese believes strongly in the after-life where life actually goes on and naturally there are many necessities and material needs at the other side - it's some place between Heaven and Hell, called the Spiritual Realm - despite the direct translation of "Hell Bank" :-)
Joss paper products ranges from clothing to fashion accessories, household utilities as well as modern technologies such as Ipad, Galaxy phones, Xbox etc. Also available are a variety of branded labels, which had recently raised some debatable questions on copyrights issues.
