Honganji-Style Gilded Amida Hall Altar Table (18-go)

A compact, architecturally disciplined piece of Japanese temple furnishing: an “Amida Hall” format altar table rendered in a luminous gold field, designed to stabilize an altar’s visual hierarchy and amplify low candlelight.

Object Details

  • Type: Temple altar furniture (butsugu stand / altar table), Honganji-style hall format
  • Size class: 18-go
  • Dimensions (approx.): W 54.5 cm × H 34.5 cm × D 20 cm
  • Materials: Wood core; gold-toned finish (exact gilding method unverified)
  • Condition: Unused old stock; minor storage wear expected

Catalogue Note

Conceived as a miniature “hall,” the piece carries a strong roofline, framed frieze, and grounded base—an altar architecture reduced to a concentrated object. In Shin ritual furnishing, the gold field functions practically and symbolically: it performs in low light while evoking the radiance associated with the Pure Land.

Collector Relevance

  • Architectural authenticity in a private-chapel scale
  • Gold field that “reads” from a distance and rewards close viewing
  • Cross-category appeal: ritual furnishing, lacquer-and-gilding decorative art, sculptural display plinth

Confidence & Verification Notes

  • Finish described from visual evidence and listing language; leaf vs. powder vs. gilt-lacquer cannot be confirmed without in-hand inspection.
  • “Unused” is paired with long-term storage; expect light aging typical for stored shop inventory.

Shipping & Logistics

Carefully packed for international transit with corner protection and crush space to protect gilded edges and architectural profiles.
