About this Butsudan
I was in Seattle recently, where I stumbled upon a roll of Dragon Cloud washi (Japanese rice paper). It has such a lovely translucence, made all the lovelier by the silky, almost iridescent, strands floating within the mulberry pulp (hence the paper’s name).
The butsudan is made form a single board, with the poplar’s heartwood at its core. Each piece has been hand-planed smoothe and is a delight to touch. The lintel is of curly maple and has a grain-pattern with such depth that it seems almost holographic.
This butsudan makes any room feel more serene. Currently, I have it on display in my studio as a small, portable tokonoma, complete with hanging scroll and ikebana flower arrangement.
