Hand-carved engraving on Buddhist altar implements and Buddhist triads, and corporate requests

Hand-carved engraving on Buddhist altar implements and Buddhist tridents

This brass Buddhist flower vase features intricate hand-carved patterns. Traditional motifs such as lotus and arabesque are applied all over the surface, creating a three-dimensional and profound finish.

We performed engraving on Buddhist altar equipment at the request of a company.

 

The client requested that the design be based on engravings created by his predecessors in the past, so we have followed that tradition, including the sect crest.

 

The image above is a brass flower vase that was carved from the raw material shown in the image below.

We also offer engraving on incense burners and fire holders.

 

Engraving on Buddhist incense burners

 

This brass Buddhist incense burner is hand-carved and finished with engraving. It features a lion on the lid and a long handle, and the body is intricately engraved with floral and geometric patterns.

The incense burner has the requested eight-flowered wisteria family crest carved in the center, and the lion on top and all the surrounding decorations are engraved with gold.

We will be making chisels suitable for the desired decoration, so we will also need time to write to you.

 

Engraving of the crane and turtle on the Buddhist altar fire holder

This is gold-plated engraving on a fire holder modeled after a crane and a turtle.

The customer requested that the design be identical to the original, so although the size is different from the original, we tried to match the number of lines on the mino-kame as closely as possible.

Regarding requests from corporations

 

Two sets of brass Buddhist altar accessories are lined up. They consist of a flower vase, incense burner, and fire holder, all hand-carved, and the fire holder is shaped like a crane and a turtle. The parts are carefully arranged on the tatami mat, allowing you to see the texture of the intricately decorated craftsmanship.

 

We also accept requests from corporations.

If we accept your request, we will generally publish it as an achievement, but if there are any issues, please contact us.

Metals that can be engraved include gold, silver, copper, as well as aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel.

There is currently no metal that we cannot engrave, so please feel free to contact us.

We would appreciate it if you could give us a heads up about your request.
