Orin Paddle [paddle]/Seo Seisakusho Co.
The sound is pleasant and comfortable as a Buddhist altar that can be placed in a family living space to create a place of mourning for the deceased without feeling uncomfortable, and the sound is both beautiful and functional, such as by placing the "ring stick," which is difficult to place after ringing, on the glass pedestal to keep the sound going.
The "Paddle" is impressive for its rinse stick casually placed on the glass pedestal at the top of the orin. The paddle-shaped ring, which gave the orin its name, is used to ring the orin and deliver the clear tone of the sound to the deceased. The transparent appearance of the phosphorus stick and the body of the orin blends beautifully with a variety of interior spaces.
Takaoka , a production center for Buddhist altar fittings: Takaoka City, located in western Toyama Prefecture, has been active in metalworking, including casting, since the Edo period. This was the beginning of the foundry.
Initially, pots and kettles for daily use were made by melting iron, but from around the middle of the Edo period, copper products gradually began to flourish, and even now, 400 years after its birth, the company continues to manufacture tea sets, flower vases, temple bells, bronze statues, and Buddhist altars, all while maintaining its tradition.
