A O-Zushi is a minature Shinto Shrine or a Buddhist Temple.
For many hundreds of years the Japanese people have prayed for their family's,
community's and country's peace and prosperity. The household Shrines and
Temples (Butsudan {household Buddhist Temple}, Kamidana {household Shinto
Shrine} are collectively known as O-Zushi). These are an intregal part of
this practise. Thus the private and public Shinto Shrines and Buddhist
Temples have been maintained so as to keep them in good condition for the
various seasonal rituals and festivals. In keeping with this tradition
I hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and happy and that you
and your community members work together in a cordial manner.
Most of the pieces shown on this web sight are about a maximum of 2 meters
by 2 meters in size.
When communicating with me via e-mail please note that I am using a computerized
translation device since my ability in English is very limited. I do have
a Canadian friend who will help us commmunicate if necessary.
In addition to the Shrines and Temples shown above, if you are interested
in obtaining traditional Japanese furniture, tatami mats or other things
I can be of assistance.
