This is Adachi, representative of ZEN Camps.
We sincerely thank you for your continued support of ZEN Camps and for supporting our activities.
ZEN Camps has created a special charm called "Hidane-mori (Fire Seed Charm)" wishing for your camping safety and safe return.。
This charm is not intended for general sale.。
This is a limited item offered with gratitude to all those involved, staff, and customers who deeply love ZEN Camps gear.。
Let us share why we made this charm, the background, and our feelings.
Entering nature means never forgetting to pray
Inside the "Hidane-mori" is actual "charcoal" created from campfires.
Fire, when used, becomes power. It provides warmth, satisfies hunger, and lights up the night—an indispensable part of camping.
However, once you forget that respect, it can quickly become dangerous.
Stepping into nature and handling fire means always having reverence for nature and never forgetting to pray.
By carrying charcoal born from campfires, which holds the memory of the fire, we hope you never forget your original intention and enjoy camping safely.
A genuine prayer at Shofukuji Temple in Nara Prefecture
Not just as a novelty, but to deliver a "genuine charm." With that wish, we had it formally prayed over at Shofukuji, a Jodo sect temple in Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture.
Shofukuji Temple is a historic temple with a long history as a direct branch of the head temple Chion-in. In a solemn atmosphere, each Hidane-mori was carefully prayed over for camping safety.
The priest says, "Living is a journey."
We hope it will be something that brings safety during camping and happy, enjoyable moments.
A quiet presence that accompanies your camping
The design is simple and dignified, based on jet black. The front is engraved with "Hidane-mori," and the back with "Camping Safety."
Tie it to your backpack or soft container, or hang it inside your car.
Rather than "wearing" it, we aimed for a charm that "quietly exists" in your camping scenes, blending naturally.
Searching for the self yet unseen.
In camping, having excellent gear is of course important.
However, through camping and ZEN Camps gear, we launched this brand with the hope that you can experience the wonderful senses and emotions you inherently possess with greater clarity.
The concept is "Searching for the self yet unseen."
Even in a world where life can feel difficult, we want to create as many moments as possible where you can quietly gaze into a campfire in nature and feel ready to face tomorrow again.
We have compiled a video showing the making of the charm, the prayer ceremony, and the thoughts of ZEN Camps representative Adachi. Please also enjoy the sound of the sutras and the words of the priest.
Wishing for a safe return from every camping trip
This "Hidane-mori" (Fire Seed Charm) is a token of our daily gratitude to you.
Camping is a wonderful experience, but it always comes with the inherent dangers of being close to nature. We hope that your future camping trips will be safe and filled with fulfilling, wonderful moments.
Together with ZEN Camps
