Description

This kit will allow you to sew your own classic Rinzai rakusu. It is the custom in many traditions to sew one’s own rakusu. The rakusu is a small version of the kesa, so is an abbreviated representation of the Buddha’s original robe. This kit uses a sturdy poly/cotton twill in either blue or black. You may also choose from three different rakusu rings. We have the customary hard plastic ring imported from Japan, as well as two made by our local fine woodworker – one a light ash wood, the other a dark walnut. The rakusu is approximately 11” x 14” and the Rinzai ring has a diameter of approximately 2 ¾”. The rakusu includes a light colored backing suitable for calligraphy.

Included with the kit is a detailed instruction manual, which was carefully created by our expert rakusu sewer and tested multiple times. We are happy to also offer phone support for those new to sewing.

This item is intended only for Buddhist clergy and precept-holders. When ordering we ask that you provide the name of your Buddhist lineage and teacher. Thanks!
