(Location: Gojo City, Nara Prefecture; Representative: Kosei Hira) has officially launched "Butsudan Kaito Kuyo (Senbutsu Hoyo) no Yamato Kimpu," a service specializing in the purchase and memorial services (Senbutsu Hoyo) for gold Buddhist altars and implements.

Background to the Service Launch—The Increasing Worries of "Butsudan Jimai"
In Japan, where the population is aging and nuclear families are becoming more common, the number of households troubled by "the fate of Buddhist altars" due to factors like clearing out vacant homes or moving into care facilities is rapidly increasing.
However, in most cases, local government waste collection services do not accept Buddhist altars.
Even when entrusted to waste disposal companies, Buddhist altars are often taken at a low price or simply discarded.
Gold Buddhist altars, in particular, are items with high artisanal value in their gold leaf, gold powder, and carvings.
Despite having a corresponding purchase price if properly appraised, they are currently often given away without their value being recognized.
Yamato Kimpu is a service created to resolve these issues.
Four Strengths of Yamato Kimpu
1. Specialized purchase of gold Buddhist altars and implements
We accurately appraise the value of gold Buddhist altars, which are difficult for general buyers to judge, using our experience and discerning eye.
We have a track record of purchasing gold Buddhist altars with a door width of 120cm or more for 60,000 yen (approximate) or more, and we offer a fair price based on condition and size.
2. Next-day response at the earliest, same-day cash payment
We respond promptly to time-sensitive situations such as inheritance, moving, or entering care facilities.
If you are satisfied with the appraised amount after on-site confirmation, cash payment is possible on the spot.
3. Respectful memorial services (Senbutsu Hoyo) by affiliated priests
All purchased Buddhist altars and implements are, with all doors open, subjected to sutra chanting and memorial services (Senbutsu Hoyo) performed by affiliated priests.
Even if the soul removal (tama-nuki) has already been performed, we respectfully conduct memorial services again.
We prioritize the sense of relief that comes from feeling "they have been properly sent off."
4. Support for businesses also available
We welcome consultations from businesses such as estate clearers, waste disposal companies, Buddhist altar shops, recycle shops, and temples, who are troubled by the handling of Buddhist altars.
For Buddhist altars with a door width of 90cm or more, we also provide accompanying and removal support at the customer's home.

A word from Representative Kosei Hira
A Buddhist altar is never just furniture or an unwanted item.
It is a precious presence where families have offered their hands and thoughts to the deceased for many years.
We value nothing more than accurately assessing the value of gold Buddhist altars and treating them with gratitude and respect until the very end.
We hope to be a reliable point of contact for those who are "hesitating whether to dispose of it" and "would like to respectfully perform memorial services (Senbutsu Hoyo) before parting with it."
