Kaikuru Kawasaki Aso Store Launches Buddhist Altar and Craft Purchase Campaign from May 1st. Responding to New Lifestyle and Post-Golden Week Decluttering Needs.

Kaikuru Kawasaki Aso Store, an on-site purchase service, will launch a campaign to strengthen its on-site purchase of Buddhist altars and crafts starting May 1st.

The handling of Buddhist altars, cherished for many years, is a difficult topic for families to decide upon. Due to unclear local government disposal rules and psychological resistance, many cases remain untouched.

At Kaikuru Kawasaki Aso Store, these items are appraised as objects possessing material and artistic value. Specialized staff meticulously inspect each item, providing a clear assessment to help customers decide whether to sell, keep, or dispose of them.

Appraisal Standards for Determining the "Value" of Buddhist Altars and Crafts

Instead of a "buy anything" approach, appraisals are conducted from the following two perspectives, depending on the characteristics of Buddhist altars and crafts:

1. Value as Material (e.g., brass, copper, gold, silver)

Buddhist altars often contain metals such as brass, copper, tin, gold, and silver.

We assess the material of items like orin (singing bowls), incense burners, and flower vases, reflecting their metallic value in the appraisal amount regardless of scratches or signs of use.

2. Value as Craftwork/Antiques

Artist-made or old Buddhist altars may possess value as art pieces or antiques.

We examine the intricacy of carvings, casting techniques, the presence of original boxes (kyobako), and preservation status. We leverage distribution channels to antique markets and collectors to connect these items with those who need them.

Considerations Valued During Appraisal

Buddhist altars are not merely objects; they are precious items related to family memories and faith. At Kaikuru Kawasaki Aso Store, in addition to confirming the material and artistic value, we also prioritize considerate service to ensure customers feel at ease consulting with us.

During appraisal, we carefully explain the item's condition and the reasons for the appraisal, supporting customers in making informed decisions about selling, keeping, or other options.

Before Consulting a Decluttering Service, Consider an Appraisal First

When organizing unwanted items, it is crucial to first separate "valuable items" from "items to be disposed of." Kaikuru supports this sorting process through item appraisals.

Benefits of getting an appraisal first:

1. Potential reduction in cost burden

By converting sellable items into cash first, the burden of subsequent organization costs can sometimes be reduced.

2. Easier decision-making for sorting

The criteria for "items to sell," "items to keep," and "items to dispose of" become clear, facilitating consensus building among family members.
