Why Choose the Japanese Buddhist Altar Suitable Chest with Zen-biki
-
What is a Zen-biki?
A zen-biki is designed like a drawer that slides out. It is so named because, during periods such as Obon, it is used to place trays (zen). Of course, it is not used exclusively during Obon; originally, it was also employed to hold offerings. Nowadays, it is common to slide out the zen pull-out to place Buddhist implements such as flower stands or fire stands.
