While the share of fashionable and affordable furniture-style Buddhist altars is increasing, there has been no modern Buddhist altar in the industry specifically for the affluent until now. The Grand Cru Series is a masterpiece that can truly be called the pinnacle of modern Buddhist altars, created using the highest quality materials and first-class techniques to meet this demand.

(Headquarters: Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture), a high-end furniture manufacturer for affluent overseas customers. It features a transparent curio cabinet-like design, lavishly adorned with the luxurious material sycamore. Using a special technique called "Kosen-bari" (radiant inlay), a radial pattern reminiscent of a halo is drawn in the principal image space, and the shumidan (altar platform) expresses a glittering space with glass gradation. The Grand Cru Series also plans to exhibit Buddhist altars exceeding 10 million yen, produced by high-end Italian furniture manufacturers. ■New Product Introduction (Partial Excerpt) "Is this a Buddhist altar?!" - Surprisingly high design!
