Accessories packed with technology that is highly regarded overseas

Throughout Japan's history, butsudan (Buddhist altars) and butsugu (Buddhist ritual utensils) have taken root and developed in people's lifestyles. Kyoto butsudan and kyobutsugu made in Kyoto began to be produced in earnest in the Heian period (794-1185), and today, nearly 70% of their production is used for temples.

Among these, the Buddhist altar fittings housed in temples that embody traditional Japanese culture are truly first-class products. The high level of our technology is highly regarded not only in Japan but also overseas.

We have created a variety of accessories to incorporate the craftsmanship of Kyo-butsudan and Kyo-butsugu artisans into our daily lives. Why don't you incorporate these accessories filled with Japan's proud craftsmanship into your daily life with your sparkling individuality?

Design motifs that have the meaning of repelling evil spirits

The design of the earrings is inspired by the Yoraku, a type of Buddhist altar tool used to beautifully decorate Buddhist altars. Yoraku is also a Buddhist altar tool meant to ward off evil. The motif is often a lotus flower, and the tops of these earrings are also finished in a delicate design with beautiful curves. The small charms sway with each movement, adding a touch of sparkle.

The overall impression is more oriental than Japanese, since the "rings" were originally ornaments worn by aristocrats in ancient India. The clear parts attached between the softly colored beige tassels add a touch of glamour. Even the very smallest clear parts are decorated with gold-painted patterns, showing the attention to detail.

The tassels are made of rayon and twisted into a very thin cord. It is moderately voluminous, but does not lose its feminine delicacy. The elegant milky white color and luster also give it a sense of quality. This is a gem that should be used by mature women.

Items that can also be the star of a coordinated look

These are large earrings, so you can wear them with the feeling of "being the star of the day. They add a touch of glamour and individuality to a simple outfit by coordinating them as a point of interest.

The beautiful colors stand out when worn with monotone or light one-tone coordinates. It is also a good idea to use them as an off-the-cuff item in a casual style such as a denim coordinate. Because the earrings themselves are voluminous, they are well balanced with loose-fitting clothes that do not expand the lines of the body, making them an easy item to use even for those who like casual coordination.

It is recommended to match not only Western-style attire but also Japanese-style attire. We recommend wearing them not only for formal occasions, but also when you want to go out on the town in kimono.

Surgical stainless steel fittings that come in contact with the skin

The earrings are approximately 5.12 in. (13cm) in length. When worn in the ear, they are plenty long enough to hang over the shoulder. Weighing approximately 0.05 lbs (23g), they are light for their size and not too heavy on the ears.

You can choose your favorite metal fittings from earrings and pierced earrings. The earrings are simple hook type, while the clip type can be adjusted with a screw. The part of the earrings that touches the ear has a resin cover to reduce pain when worn for long periods of time. The metal fittings are made of surgical stainless steel, a material that does not cause allergic reactions.

In addition to being highly durable and resistant to deterioration, the surface is also scratch-resistant. It is nice to be able to use it for a long time without having it "discolor while not in use for a little while" like silver.

Comes with a luxurious and exclusive box

The earrings arrive in a luxurious black box with the brand's logo stamped in foil. Slide it open and the earrings and pierced ears are secured in place.

There is also a tubular stopper to prevent the tassel tassels from coming apart. When storing the tassels, make sure to attach this tube.

Tassels may pop out of the tassel longer if a little force is applied. If this happens, cut them with scissors to straighten them out. Also, if they become bent or kinked, stroking them with a small amount of water will help straighten them out.
