Silk Brocade Soto Rakusu

Description

The rakusu is a small version of the kesa, so is an abbreviated representation of the Buddha’s original robe.

The Still Sitting Soto Rakusu is a classic Soto rakusu. It comes in Brocade, Silk, Poly-cotton, All-Cotton, and Linen-cotton, each with a light colored backing suitable for calligraphy.

The light-colored backing on the Soto Rakusu has a border around it.

We have 5 different Silk Brocade styles, Brown Dragon, Black Dragon, Golden Dragon, Butterfly, and Midnight Leaf.

You may also choose from the three different rakusu rings. We have the customary hard plastic rings imported from Japan, as well as five made here on Vashon island by local fine woodworker.  Two are Classic Rings, which are the same on both sides, and hand finished with non-toxic finish.  We offer three Artisan Rings, slightly thicker, and finer pieces.  The Rinzai Ring has approx. 2 ¾ diameter. The Soto Ring has approx. 2 3/8 diameter.
