AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Product Description
Buddhist Art – Set of 3 Lacquered Wooden Cases with Gold Leaf Decoration (Brush/Stationery Boxes) & *Orin* (Buddhist Gong) – Associated with Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha (Nishi Honganji)
This is a set of Buddhist ritual implements, likely used in traditional Japanese Buddhist altars and ceremonies.
The items feature a black lacquer base adorned with traditional gold decorations.
The lacquerware pieces—particularly the central and side units—display motifs such as cloud patterns, botanical designs, and circular crest-like emblems; the contrast between the black lacquer and gold accents is striking.
The set also includes a *orin* (Buddhist gong) with its stand and a striker.
