This is a hand-carved wooden fish (mokugyo) finished by artisans one by one using hon-kusu (Japanese camphor wood). It is carved from a single piece of natural wood, producing a deep tone and warmth that mass-produced items lack. When actually struck, a clear yet soft, pleasant resonance spreads. Size ・5 sun (approx. 15cm) *This is a convenient size for home use or for Buddhist altars. Features ✔ Hon-kusu, intricately carved ✔ Handmade by artisans ✔ Each piece has its own unique tone and wood grain ✔ The actual item shown in the images will be delivered (images are not reused) *Please Note As wooden fish are made from natural wood, there may be variations in wood grain, color, small dents, or stains. These are not defects but characteristics of natural materials, so please understand this. The actual item is shown in the images, so please purchase with your understanding. * Sourced from a specialized supplier of temple supplies and Buddhist altar fittings. * Also recommended for chanting, memorial services, and meditation at home. *Regarding the 10th image The 10th image shows the wooden fish being offered for sale placed next to a wooden fish that has been cherished and used in my home for over 50 years. The item for sale is unused and new, so its color appears bright and whitish. However, with long-term use, it will gradually change to a deep, amber color, characteristic of natural wood. This color change is another significant charm of the wooden fish, and it can be used as a Buddhist ritual object that matures over time. This wooden fish offers the enjoyment of companionship and nurturing its sound and color over time. *Regarding Shipping We will arrange shipping via Yu-Pack through YuYu Mercari Mail.
