Antique Japanese Butsudan — Gilded Buddhist Altar (SKU: 25M-4802)
An Altar of Light and Reverence: Where Ancestors Dwell in Gold

Step into the sacred splendor of this exquisite Japanese Butsudan (仏壇)—a traditional Buddhist altar that embodies centuries of devotion, craftsmanship, and spiritual beauty. Its grand presence is softened by the serenity it offers, inviting quiet reflection and reverent remembrance. The rich black lacquer is balanced by radiant gold leaf detailing, delicate hand-carved embellishments, and ornate architectural tiers that echo the sanctity of temple interiors.

At its heart lies a gilded sanctuary where the divine resides, flanked by intricate columns and framed by folding doors adorned with sculpted scenes of celestial beings and nature. This is not merely furniture—it is a sacred space designed to honor ancestors and house the spirit of prayer. From the polished fittings to the fine latticework and sacred drawers, every inch of this Butsudan reveals a devotion to both form and faith.
