The highest quality modern Buddhist altar made with "Wajima-nuri," the pinnacle of Japanese lacquerware.
The base created using the "fabric-covered true hard ground" technique, which is characterized by the exceptional durability of Wajima lacquerware, the "tame-nuri" method of layering high-quality natural lacquer, the "wax finish" that involves hand-polishing the surface to achieve a mirror-like beauty, and the "togidashi maki-e" that is carefully painted with colored lacquer and gold or silver powder. This is a top-quality piece completed over the course of about one year.

Company information
Since its establishment in 1806 in Kishiwada City, Osaka Prefecture, Shimen has continued to uphold traditional techniques and culture, dedicating itself solely to the production of Buddhist altars. We offer a wide variety of products, including traditional gold altars and wooden altars, as well as Wajima lacquer altars, furniture-style altars, and mini altars. In particular, the Wajima lacquer altar, which incorporates traditional Wajima lacquer techniques, is made using local powder (diatomaceous earth) from Wajima City as a unique lacquer base, and the finest quality lacquer is generously applied, resulting in a top-tier altar that undergoes 124 processes to complete. We also manufacture original high-end wooden altars and stylish modern altars that evoke the beauty of Japanese tradition. Additionally, Shimen offers repair and restoration services for Buddhist altars. From simple partial repairs to cleaning repairs that remove dirt, and complete repairs that restore the altar to like-new condition, we carefully handle repairs at our own factory. We also accept repairs for Buddhist implements, so please feel free to contact us.
