| In the ceremony, a portrait of a deceased person is placed by an altar at the center and a flag called Meiki (the funerary flag with which the name of the deceased, an official rank, etc. are described) is displayed behind the coffin placed at the rear of the altar in many cases. |
式の際には、中央の祭壇の脇に遺影を置き、祭壇の奥に置かれた棺の後方に、銘旗と呼ばれる故人の名前が書かれた旗が立てられる場合が多い。 |
