This hanging scroll depicts the Mandala, the principal image of the Nichiren sect. The principal image is the Buddha most idealized by each sect, and is usually hung on the top shelf in the center of the Buddhist altar. The subdued, chic image and mounting complement any Buddhist altar design. It offers a unique charm that's quite different from hanging scrolls with more ornate mountings. It's manufactured in Gifu Prefecture, a major producer of hanging scrolls. *Hanging scroll stand sold separately* [Material] Paper; Country of Origin: Japan [Product Dimensions] Height (excluding upper string): 27.3cm; Shaft width (bottom rod): 12.4cm; Scroll width: 10cm [Handling Precautions/Care Instructions] Gently dust off with a soft-bristled brush or brush, or a soft, dry cloth.
