Description

The present invention relates to a Buddha statue, particularly to a Buddha statue having a storage unit.

Buddha statues are basically to be respected as objects of worship. Therefore, Buddha statues are worshiped or enshrined in religious rituals and protected.

On the other hand, Buddha statues have many artistic values, so they are also treated as works of art, and are also used as objects. Since it is originally the object of religion, it is usually conceived that even if it is used as a reserve, it brings about peace of mind such as "healing" or "relief".

In this way, Buddha statues are revered as objects of worship, and are not always laid at altars, but are sometimes placed in everyday life as daily necessities as giving healing and nagomi to the heart. .

Buddha statues placed on the altar or to the right of the altar, unlike mere figurines without religious significance, are basically objects of worship and are thought to have mysterious power that can not be explained by reason For this reason, there may be a case where you want the Buddha statue to protect something.

For example, ancient Buddha statues have a hollow inside, the so-called "womb", into which additional Buddha statues can be placed (buddha statue), or a sutra or other document written in the "womb". It is known that it is put in ".

In modern times, there is no doubt that the Buddhist statues placed on the altar or the right side of the statue should protect important things or use them as secret places.

However, at present, there is nothing that makes it possible for a Buddha statue to be protected by a Buddha in this way, even if it is relatively easily available.

The problem to be solved is a Buddha statue that is relatively easy to create and thus relatively easy to obtain, and that with the Buddha, we have developed a technology that can store important or certain circumstances. It is to be.

The Buddha statue according to the present invention has an opening at the bottom, the interior is hollow from the opening, and a container is accommodated in the cavity, and the container is freely inserted and removed from the opening. Is characterized by being capable of accommodating and storing desired ones.

仏 The Buddha statue according to the present invention can be formed into a Buddha statue that is large enough to be placed on the palm of the hand. In this case, the "size enough to be placed on the palm" can be individually determined using the palm of the person who handles the Buddha image or the person who protects the Buddha image as a standard. Generally, it can be set arbitrarily in a wide range from the palm of an adult to the palm of a young child. In particular, if the Buddha statue in this case is Jizo-son, it can be large enough to be placed on the palm of a young child, because of the religion that Jizo is a child's guardian Buddha. Furthermore, it may be as large as can be placed on the palm of an adult.

仏 The Buddha statue according to the present invention has an opening at the bottom and a hollow inside from the opening, so it is not possible to detect that there is a hollow when viewed from the front. Therefore, it is possible not only to impair the aesthetic impression but also to function as a storage place (secret secret place) that cannot be seen at a glance.

In the Buddha statue according to the present invention, a container is accommodated in the above-described cavity, and the container is freely put in and out of the opening, so that a desired one is put in the container, and the container is placed on the bottom. It is only necessary to close the cavity from the opening, so that a desired one can be easily stored.

胎 The womb inside of the womb, which has been generally known from the past, is sealed inside, and the inside cannot be removed nondestructively. On the other hand, the Buddha statue according to the present invention is provided with a container that can be arbitrarily taken in and out from the bottom of the Buddha statue itself, and the desired thing is stored in this container. It can also be easily removed when needed. When the container is taken out, a desired one can be put in the container, and it is easy to replace the container.

Thus, in a state where a desired thing is put in the container, the container can be returned and stored in the internal cavity of the Buddha statue according to the present invention. Thereby, it becomes possible to put a desired thing in the internal cavity of the Buddha image according to the present invention (in the womb of the Buddha image).

も の What can be stored and housed inside the Buddha statue according to the present invention is arbitrary, as long as there is no limit on the size and no problem with properties such as the possibility of deterioration.

For example, valuables, memorials, and other things can be stored. For example, a Buddha statue can be added to make it a Buddha in the womb. It can store bones and hair that have been split. You can store what you need in the future, such as putting a will. Alternatively, what is to be taken out later can be put in and used as a time capsule.

According to the present invention, it is not just a feeling of a storage place, but also a thought of having a Buddha protect important things. Psychological factors play a major role, bringing benefits beyond those measured on a natural science scale.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. However, needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the Buddha image of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the Buddha statue of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the Buddha statue viewed from the front, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the Buddha statue viewed from slightly obliquely above. Reference numeral 1 indicates the main body of the Buddha image. The main body 1 of the Buddha statue is made of stone in this embodiment, and is particularly made of granite. In this embodiment, a stone Buddha is used, but other materials such as metal, precious metal, plastic, pottery, glass, and wood may be used. In addition, the Buddha statue of the present example was made to be Jizo, and the size was about 15 cm in height and about the size of an adult's palm. This is "hand-riding Jizo" (product name) by the present applicant. However, similarly to the material, the size may be variously large or small and may be arbitrarily formed. Depending on the size of the object to be stored, it can be designed in any way.

As can be seen from the front view of FIG. 2 and the perspective view of FIG. 3, the appearance is not different from a normal Buddha image. Therefore, it cannot be seen at a glance that the Buddha statue has a storage function.

仏 As shown in FIG. 1, the Buddha statue has an opening 12 in the bottom 11 of the main body 1. A cavity 13 is formed inside from the opening 12. This cavity 13 corresponds to a so-called “womb”. The container 2 is housed in the cavity 13, and the container 2 can be freely inserted into and removed from the opening 12.

In FIG. 1, the container 2 is shown in a state of being taken out. Various objects as described above are put into the container 2 as required, and the container 2 is further housed in the cavity 13 of the main body 1 of the Buddha statue through the opening 12 so that the desired object is put in the Buddha statue. They are kept and stored.

(4) Since the container 2 can be freely inserted into and removed from the opening 12 of the main body 1 of the Buddha statue, removal and replacement can be easily achieved.

In the illustrated example, the container 2 includes a container main body 21 serving as a storage unit and a lid 22, but this configuration is arbitrary. Any shape and size that can be accommodated in the cavity 13 and that can accommodate desired items inside may be used. Although the container 2 in the illustrated example is substantially cylindrical, the shape is arbitrary. A configuration that does not require the lid portion 22 can also be adopted.

FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of an example of the Buddha image of the present invention. It is the front view which looked at the Buddha image of an example of the Buddha image of the present invention from the front. It is the perspective view which looked at an example of the Buddha image of the present invention from a little diagonally above.
