Beautiful work! Moving to Washington state soon and may need a new butsudan. I’ll keep your number. Barbara (currently of Illinois)
Thank you, Barbara. I would be delighted to speak with you further, should that time arrive.
Beautiful work! I’m in love!
Is it possible ship to Brazil?
Thank you for your lovely message. I will look into the possibility of shipping to Brazil.
Very warmest regards,
Caleb N Rogers
