These candles are made of 100% vesitable wax, and made in Japan.
Because it can't be made unless Japanese materials.


Please take a look (details)
Prices: 20.00 - 47.00 USD (shipping cost: 8 USD flat)
You can see more photos, prices and specs

Japanese people have used Japanese candles (Wa-rousoku in Japanese) since 7th century. Main material is Haze tree (R.succedanea). This plant, known as Japan Wax Tree today, grows in East Asia only. I mean, Japanese candles are made of 100% vesitable wax.

On the other hand, Western candles had been made from animal tallow (for example, pigs and whales). Western candles were introduced to Japan in the Middle Ages. But Buddhist (mainly monks and temples) had denied them. Because Buddhism teachings ban the taking of lives. Nowadays Japanese are using paraffin wax western style candles.

These candles can't be made at outside of Japan! Why?
Japan Wax Tree grows in East Asia. So, this plant grows in China as well as Japan.
But analysis of ingredient showed that it contained 6% Japan Acid in Japanese tree. Chinese tree isn't contain this acid.
I mean, it never be "Chinese Japanese-candles". Japanese candles are 100% made in Japan. It can't be made in other countries.

The hallmark of Japanese candles?

1. All Handmade
2. All vesitable wax
3. Powerful but soft lights
4. Long flaming
5. Stand up to the wind
6. Low soot]]> http://www.tokyotrad.com/2011/10/japanese_traditional_candles_h.html http://www.tokyotrad.com/2011/10/japanese_traditional_candles_h.html 06OB Buddhism Candle Japan Vesitable Sat, 01 Oct 2011 23:26:13 +0900

Sanjujo-sasshi is transcribed Buddhism sutra and annotated edition by Japanese monk, Kukai in China in 9th century.
There are 30 books. It have very historical value of esoteric Buddhism and Shingon Buddhism.

---

Who is KUKAI?

Kukai, also known posthumously as Kobo-Daishi (774 - 835), was a Japanese monk, scholar, poet, and artist, founder of the Shingon or "True Word" school of Buddhism.

In 7th and 8th century, Japanese knew Buddhism fragmentary. So, Imperial house decided to send some monks to Tang dynasty to study Buddhism perfectly. Kukai was one of them.
As he was excellent student, he was appointed as successor of Shingon Buddhism from Chinese monk, Hui-kuo. Therefore, orthodox Shingon sect moved to Japan.
After returning to Japan, he propagated perfect Buddhism, he contributed to Japanese Buddhism

It's including authentic Kukai's (a.k.a. Kobo-Daishi) hand (print script).
Maybe It's expensive item. Because originally, it's the treasure which was never allowed to be taken out, so this item is miracle!

Ancient Japanese imagined

FU-JIN (right) is the Japanese god of the wind. He was present at the creation of the world and when he first let the winds out of his bag.
RAI-JIN (left) is a god of thunder and lightning in Japanese mythology. He is typically depicted as a demon beating drums to create thunder.

Ancient Japanese imagined that storm and lightning were brought by them.
Their looks like a demon, but they are gods of Japanese myth. And especially they have been respected among farmers.

Talking of Fu-jin, Rai-jin, Senso-ji temple at Tokyo is the most famous.

阿字観とは?
阿字観は仏教などで行われるの瞑想のひとつで、海外では阿字観ヨーガなどとも言われます。

阿字観の仕方自体はそれほど難しいものではなく、どこでもできます。
近年のストレス社会の中で再び注目されています。

梵字のひとつである、阿字は大日如来を表します。密教では宇宙・真理そのものを表す如来とされ、真言宗などの密教系寺院では大日如来が本尊となっているケースが多いです。

[阿字観の仕方（簡略）]
最初に座り、法界定印という印を結びます（写真右）。
次に深呼吸を3回行い、軽く阿字を見つめます。
最後に目を閉じて心に阿字（＝大日如来）を写します。詳細は詳しいサイト等がありますのでそちらをご参照ください。

密教系の寺院ではしばしば行われております。
この商品はポータブル・サイズでもあります。
置物としてお部屋を飾ることもできますし、持ち運んで出先で阿字観を行うこともできます。
リラックスしたいときや阿字観瞑想を行い時に是非！

＊寺院様でのお取り扱いも可能です。1点から注文できますので在庫リスクはありません。その際は卸価格になりますので1個の場合は送料をいただきます。2個以上の場合は送料無料です。是非お問い合わせください。




24金（純金）です。箱付きです。本体は日本製。スタンドは台湾製。

山口氏は将来を期待される若手仏師です。作品の一部は既にお寺などに納められております。
東京生まれ東京育ち、現在も都内在住ですが、北陸地方との縁が深い仏師で、年に数ヶ月は木曽地方や北陸地方の山で最良の木材探しに費やしております。
彼の作風の特徴のひとつは端正な少年のような顔つきの仏様ということになるでしょうか。


その他の作品はこちら


彼の作品は完全に日本製ですが、海外製の仏像の修復なども受け付けております。

仏像はやすりや釘を使いません。


海外製との比較。
また国内の檜は白いのですが、海外の檜は薬品で白く漂白しているので、芯の部分は黒っぽいことがままあります。

阿弥陀三尊来迎
阿弥陀如来を平たく書けば、西方の極楽浄土で仏説を説いているとされ、平安時代後期以降、末法思想の流布ともあいまって民間レベルでは阿弥陀信仰が盛んになり、人が死ぬと阿弥陀如来がひとまず往生のためにお迎えに来る、ということになっており、多くの来迎図が描かれました（雲に乗っていることが多い）。



今回、山口仏師はその阿弥陀三尊来迎を仏像で立体的に表現しました。

素材：木曽ヒノキ
製作期間：一年　仏像のサイズは1尺です。
価格：応相談。

Urushi and Kinpaku. Both are synonym of high‐quality articles.
I have direct deal with producers and workers.



Of course it's also OK thinking as only ornaments.
That's cool item! we think.
This item is art (whether you have nothing to believe in Buddhism or not).

What's AJIKAN?
AJIKAN is traditional Buddhism meditation. It's also known as Ajikan Yoga in outside of Japan.

This meditation is very easy, and you can do anywhere.
It's watched with keen interest again as mind healing means under stress society in Japan.

The Sanskrit letter (called AJI) stands for Dainichi-Nyorai who is supreme Buddha and symbol of truth of universe.

[Briefing of Ajikan]
The first of all, you sit and make hand sign called "Hohkaijoh-in" like a right picture.
Next, you take a deep breath three times, and gaze at AJI lightly.
Last, close your eyes, and you copy AJI to your mind.

Monks who belong to esoteric Buddhism are usually doing this.
This item is portable sized Aji.
You can bring it to anywhere. You can also decorate it in your room.
For your relaxation or meditation...

Maybe you think that it's a little expensive.
I explain the reason.

The reason one:
It's used URUSHI.
Urushi is Japanese traditional lacquer.
Craftsmen take Urushiol (lacquer) from Japanese sumac tree, and they lacquer from tableware to Buddhism temples.
Lacquerware is representative Japanese traditional item.
The best place of Urushi is Noto area (Wajima) at Ishikawa pref. in Japan.

The reason two:
It's used Kinpaku (Gold leaf). IT'S K24 (pure gold).
Kinpaku is gold leaf. Gold leaf is gold that is beaten into extremely thin sheets.
Kinpaku is used to various traditional items and buildings.
The best palce of Kinpaku is Kanazawa area at Ishikawa pref. in Japan.
