It is best to choose a size that matches the size of your Buddhist altar.
Generally, 4.0 sun (for small altars) to 4.5 sun (for medium altars) are commonly chosen. 5.0 sun and above are suitable for large altars.
Measure carefully to ensure the chosen ihai can be placed in the space for the ihai (usually on the left or right of the second step from the top of the Buddhist altar).
[Regarding Ihai Dimension Display]
Ihai sizes are generally indicated in "sun," such as 4 sun or 4.5 sun. 1 sun is approximately 3.03 cm.
For example, a 4 sun ihai refers to an ihai with a "tablet height" of around 4 (sun) x 3.03 (cm) = 12.12 (cm).
Please note that this measurement usually refers to the "tablet height" of the ihai and not the "total height" (height from top to bottom).
[Other Precautions]
When actually placing the ihai in the Buddhist altar, the "total height" is important.
If you are concerned about the size, it is best to confirm how tall an ihai can be placed in the actual space where you will put it.
Also, if you already have other ihai enshrined, it is common to use those ihai sizes as a reference.
Please note that dimensions may vary slightly depending on the product.
We recommend referring to the detailed dimensions such as "total height" and "tablet height" listed on each product page to make your decision.
