By placing a "cloud," it becomes a Shinto altar or Buddhist altar decoration that shows greater respect to gods and Buddha.
The modern Shinto altar is, of course, also recommended for authentic Shinto altars and Buddhist altars, and is an excellent item.
We highly recommend replacing or reapplying the cloud on your Shinto altar or Buddhist altar.
In winter, due to the nature of the clay adhesive, the clay tends to harden easily and the adhesive strength decreases, so please knead the clay well to make it soft before use.
"Please reinforce the adhesion as needed"
The craftsmanship of Japanese paper artisans who inherit the beauty of Japanese tradition techniques (Takumi) creates the cloud with careful hand-pulping techniques layered multiple times. It is a warm and rich cloud cut.
"Features" This tradition is over 1300 years old, and the "cloud" is made by craftsmen of Mino hand-pulled Japanese paper, one of Japan's three major washi papers, called "Mino" washi.
Hand-pulled washi paper features beautiful natural fibers floating on the surface, making it a high-quality Japanese paper with a dignified appearance.
Ideal for renewing or replacing the cloud.
"Origin of the Cloud" It is a custom to attach the character "cloud" to the top of the Shinto altar or Buddhist altar, or to the ceiling.
Unlike old one-story buildings, modern residential environments include two or three-story houses or apartment complexes where other residents live above.
In this case, it would be disrespectful as "people stand above the gods," so a cloud is installed above the gods.
The meaning is that only clouds or heaven are above the gods.
"Specifications" Material: Mino hand-pulled washi paper (mainly kozo and mitsumata) Size: 12cm x 12cm (height x width). The product may show fine fiber colors (black or brown), but this is proof of natural fibers and not dirt (defective), so please understand.
"Hand-pulled washi" The traditional method of respecting gods and Buddha through "clouds."
A beautiful culture unique to Japan, the land of gods.
Please invite great blessings with the craftsmanship of hand-pulled "hand-pulled washi paper clouds."
