Contact Me

Please feel free to contact me from here. If you already have some ideas or requests, I would appreciate it if your could include information such as:

• 1. Types of the statues
  ex.) Yakushi Nyorai, Guanyin, Acala, Priest
• 2. Size
  It doesn’t need to be specific.
  ex.) standing statue, about 90 cm from the head to the toe sitting statue, about 60cm, etc.
• 3. Materials
  ex.) wood, dried lacquer, bronze, etc. (if you have any requests) Please let me know if you have certain types of trees in mind when ordering wooden statues.
• 4. Finishing
  ex.) wooden surface, golden surface, colored surface, etc. Either fixed or blurry images would help.

Planning

Based on your image, I will give you some detailed suggestions of the shape, materials, and finishing.

Quotation

I will issue the quotation based on the conditions we talked about. We move on to the production process after your approval.

Production

Here is the basic production procedure.

• 1. Planning
  Planned on paper and sometimes do modeled with clay. Clients may check them if needed.
• 2. Purchase of the material, cutting
  Purchase and preparation of wood (in case of the wooden statues). Depending on the type of wood, I go and look for a good log fit to be carved, and then attend the factory myself to make sure the best part of the log is to be cut out.
• 3. Ceremony
  If requested, the log could go through blessing before being carved.
• 4. Carving
  We keep in contact while carving. Please make sure we’re going in the right direction (regarding the detailed shape, appearance, etc.) Currently, it takes about 2 years for a standing statue with 60cm height.
• 5. Delivery and signature
  If requested, we could hollow out inside the statue. Also we could put signatures of clients’ names, background of the production, the year of the production, etc. inside or on the bottom surface.
• 6. Finishing
  We could put colors or gold leaf on the surface, or for the statues with natural wooden surfaces, it will be smoothed intently not with sandpapers but only with carving knives.

Delivery

Finish the whole process by delivering and placing the statue. A ceremony to put a spirit in the statue can be performed if desired.
