PROJECT
Buddhist altar equipment background
Taking on new challenges from a new perspective
Global expansion
Buddhist altar implements are the culmination of traditional Japanese crafts and are an art that symbolizes Japanese "beauty". However, in recent years, domestic demand for them has been sluggish due to changes in the religious views and lifestyles of the Japanese people. Buddhist altar implements are not just religious implements; their technology and design are an art that Japan should be proud of around the world.
We hope to convey the charm of Buddhist altar implements to people all over the world by adding a new perspective to traditional techniques and adapting them to modern life. By utilizing our manufacturing know-how for Buddhist altar implements, we can develop new markets around the world and rediscover their value as art.
Zen Craft KYOTO aims to spread Buddhist altar implements not only in Japan but also around the world, and to inspire people with different cultures and values. We will convey the beauty and spirituality of Buddhist altar implements to the world, and spread them as art that enriches the hearts of people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
