Description
The rakusu is a small version of the kesa, so is an abbreviated representation of the Buddha’s original robe.
The Still Sitting Rinzai Rakusu is a classic Rinzai rakusu. It comes in brocade, black, brown, or navy blue each with a light colored backing suitable for calligraphy.
The light-colored backing on the Rinzai Rakusu extends to the edge of the rakusu, unlike our Soto Rakusu, which has a dark border around a white square on the back.
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.
Absolutely beautiful. Super soft. Colour didn’t quite match picture .. was even better. A+ x 10 thousand. 😀

Your pics of the material do not reflect its true color. looks more uniform brown than gold brocade.
