antique buddhist altar lotus flower arrangements - elegant spiritual decor

Love Japanese Style Like We Do

Infuse your home with serenity and grace with this exquisite pair of antique Buddhist lotus flower altar arrangements. These meticulously crafted metal flowers, known as Jouka, meaning "eternal flowers,” are a stunning representation of spiritual beauty. Set in decorative vases, these unique pieces offer a tranquil energy that will elevate any room.

In Buddhist tradition, the lotus flower symbolizes purity, spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. Its ability to rise from the murky waters each morning, blooming in pristine beauty, is a powerful metaphor for the purity of body, speech, and mind. Lotus flowers placed on an altar represent the desire for the "mind's flowers" to bloom in the springtime of enlightenment.

Crafted from high-quality brass, these flowers showcase intricate detailing and a captivating darkened patina that only time can bestow. Unlike modern, lightweight metal alloys, these substantial flowers are beautifully heavy and durable. They are in very good antique condition, with no noticeable structural damage.

The flowers are elegantly displayed in small, heavy antique brass vases adorned with delicate etchings. These vases show signs of age, adding to their charm. The bottoms of the vases are slightly worn with traces of silver alloy around the bases, and one vase is equipped with felt pads for stability - details that are subtle and go unnoticed when the vases are standing.

Perfect for spiritual use, meditation, or simply as a captivating decorative piece, this pair of lotus flowers brings both beauty and meaning to any space.
