Buddhist Tablet (Ihai) - 3.5寸 (Height 16.9cm, Width 8cm, Depth 10.6cm)

The Ihai is a Buddhist altar fitting used to enshrine and honor the spirits of the deceased. It is considered an important item for ancestral veneration.
The posthumous Buddhist name (Kaimyo) is inscribed on the front of the Ihai.
Even without a Kaimyo, it is possible to create an Ihai using the deceased's secular name (Zokumyo) as a substitute. By adding 之霊位 (no reii) after the secular name, it is considered to have the same significance as receiving a Kaimyo.

If you wish to have the Kaimyo and other inscriptions handwritten, we will do so free of charge. Please refer to the last image for examples.
After your purchase, please provide the Kaimyo you wish to have handwritten, the Buddhist title (e.g., Koji for men, Daishi for women), the date of , the secular name (full name), and the age at . We will then handwrite these details for you free of charge. Of course, you are also welcome to purchase the Ihai alone.

We will also handwrite the date of , secular name (full name), and age at free of charge.

In the Kanto region, the Kaimyo and date of are typically inscribed on the front of the Ihai, and the secular name and age at on the back.

In the Tokai and western Japan regions, only the Kaimyo is inscribed on the front, with the date of and age at on the back.

There are regional differences. If you already have ancestral Ihai, we can create this one to match their layout.
