"Elipse Butsudan"
A butsudan is a Buddhist altar found in most Japanese homes. The traditional altar is very ornate and boxy, but I have taken the basic elements and interpreted them in many different contemporary western design styles. This one is based on the plan of the ellipse, made of Hawaiian Koa and Camphorwood burl. $12,000

Hi! Thanks for checking out the butsudans on my website. I have been an SGI-USA member for 30 years. There are many different types of Buddhisms that use butsudans, each having its own requirements. Because of this, I am only familiar with the design requirements of SGI-USA Nichiren Buddhism, and so can only make butsudans for SGI-USA practitioners. Contact info is on the home page.
Thanks, Pete Schlebecker

"Rounded Parson" is a Butsudan set that combines a fairly simple and less expensive Butsudan with a parsons-style table set that has rounded shoulder to soften and dress-up the look. Shown here in Cherry with Jatoba trim. The accessories are also turned out of the same woods.

"Octagon" is based on the plan section of an octagon. I have made this one many times in slightly different proportions. This one is in teak and ebony. $6000
