The Kyujo Orin series is crafted by Kyujo Yamaguchi, a renowned company with over a century of experience in the Buddhist altar industry. They create a diverse range of new ornaments, aiming to integrate the sound of the orin into modern daily life beyond its traditional use in altar fittings.
Yamaguchi Kyujo's orin emits a sound known as "1/f fluctuation," inducing alpha brain waves that promote comfort and well-being. Traditionally used in Buddhist rituals, the orin's sound purifies spaces and wards off evil spirits.
