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) seem to be popular choices. 5.0 sun and larger are suitable for large altars.
Please measure carefully to ensure the chosen ihai can be placed in the space where the ihai will be enshrined (usually on the second tier of the Buddhist altar, left or right) and then make your selection.
[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 would be an ihai with a "slab height" of around 4 (sun) x 3.03 (cm) = 12.12 (cm).
Please note that this dimension usually refers to the "slab height" of the ihai and not the "total height" (height from top to bottom).
[Other Notes]
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 location where it will be enshrined.
Also, if you already have other ihai enshrined, it is common to use those 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 "slab height" listed on each product page to make your decision.
