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.

Kei-ha is one of Buddhism art schools that began at Kamakura era (12th century). Unkei and Kaikei are historical representative craftsmen. They had changed the world of Buddhism sculpture dramatically. As they are mentioned on Japanese history textbook, many Japanese people know them.

The Buddhism artisan: KENTARO SUZUKI
He is promising Buddhism craftsman. He was well trained as pupil under MUKOYOSHI YUBOKU who is one of the most famous Buddhism artisan, called Dai-Busshi (means great Buddhism artian).
He has many knowledge of special features about wood. I mean, he makes use of a wood's individual features such as the grain of wood. Because Japanese people love the grain of wood and pure appearance of material.
His works were paid by some temples. So we can see them at there.
He can make all kinds of Buddhism icons.
He doesn't use file or sandpaper. He uses various gravers only. All handmade, and all wood (no using a metal such as nails) . It's very sophisticated!!
above: Dainichi Nyorai test carving
below: Bishamon-ten. left half is rough carving. right half is finished (no files and no sandpaper)
To our surprise, he has abnormal power of concentration, he can make it about two weeks unless he accepts other reservations.
He is particular about "Made in Japan", and he's making it. That's why the price is not so cheap (it's keeping high quality that Buddhism temples are buying).
(Expected price is 3000 - 6000 USD on an average.)
It won't be long to sell it!! Please look forward to!!

What do you think?
She is Kissho-ten (Sri-mahadevi).

The image of beautiful woman used to have changed depending on times or culture.
Generally, traditionally images of the goddess are beautiful woman of Nara and Heian period (7 - 12th century).

She is famous illustrator who is good at painting Deva.
She revises Deva to modern looks like a anime or manga with her imagination from traditional looks. But her pictures never profane the Buddhism
