Description

The present invention relates to a Buddhist image having a storage structure for storing the deceased's relics such as ashes, hair, and ashes so that they can be taken in and out.

For example, as shown in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-112463), a technique is known in which a Buddha image (that is, a bone Buddha) is made from the remains of a deceased person and the two are integrated. With this technique, worship of the Buddha and the spirit of offering to the ancestors are fused, and by worshiping the bone Buddha, it is possible to worship the deceased and at the same time to worship the Buddha.

JP-A-2015-112463

By the way, the bone Buddha as described above is made by using the ashes crushed into powder, and the Buddha image and the ashes are inseparably integrated. Therefore, only the ashes cannot be separated from the Buddha statue and taken out. Then, the remains cannot be reintegrated into, for example, a newly formed Buddha statue.

An object of the present invention is to provide a Buddhist image having a storage structure for storing and integrating the deceased's relics such as ashes, hair, and ashes so that they can be taken in and out.

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention is a Buddha statue having a storage structure for storing and integrating the deceased's relics so that the deceased's relics can be taken in and out. It has one or more storage containers for storing, and a storage unit for removably storing the storage containers.

According to the present invention, the Buddha statue and the deceased's relics can be separated and integrated by applying a storage structure to the Buddha statue, for example, to store and integrate the deceased's relics such as ashes, hair, and ashes. Can be made to.

"One embodiment of the Buddha image of the present invention"
FIG. 1 is a front view of the Buddha image 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a rear view of the Buddha image 1 of FIG. 1 and 2 show an example of the Buddha image 1, which is composed of a head 2, a body 3, an arm 4, and a leg 5. The head 2 is provided with a screw hair 2b centered on the meat skeleton 2a. The Kasaya 6 is hung from the body portion 3 to the entire leg portion 5, and both legs (not shown) in the leg portion 5 are in a state of being assembled with each other.

As shown in FIG. 1, both arms (not shown) in the arm portion 4 extend through the inside of the Kasaya 6 to the front of the body portion 3 (Buddha image 1). In front of the body 3 (Buddha image 1), the finger portions 7 at the tips of both arms form a form in which the marks are tied (that is, the seal phase).

As shown in FIG. 2, a storage structure 8 is constructed on the back surface of the body 3 (Buddha image 1) (that is, the back 1p of the Buddha image). The storage structure 8 can store the deceased's relics in and out so that they can be integrated with the Buddha statue 1. In the present invention, the deceased's relics refer to a concept that includes not only physical deceased items such as ashes, hair, and ashes, but also items that are reminiscent of the deceased person, such as keepsake.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the storage structure 8, which has a rectangular shape in a plan view and is closed by a lid 9 having the same shape constituting the storage structure 8. The contour shape of the lid 9 is set to match the contour shape of the back 1p of the Buddha image 1 in a state where the storage structure 8 is closed (in other words, a state where the entrance / exit opening 14 described later is covered).

Here, assuming that the contour shape of the back 1p of the Buddha image 1 is such that the Kasaya 6 is hung so as to diagonally cross the back 1p, the contour shape of the lid 9 closes the storage structure 8 with the lid 9. In the state, a series of Kasaya 6 is set to exert an aesthetic effect as if they are continuously hung along the back 1p without causing a visual discomfort.

3 to 5 are a phase composition diagram of the finger portion 7 of the Buddha image 1. In FIGS. 3 to 5, as an example of the seal phase, the return-to-home gassho is shown, and the return-to-home gassho is configured by alternately combining the ten fingers of both hands (right hand 7a, left hand 7b) one by one.

FIG. 6 is an internal configuration diagram of the storage structure 8 from which the lid 9 has been removed. FIG. 6 shows an example of the storage structure 8, in which the storage structure 8 has one storage container 10 and a storage portion 11. The storage container 10 can store the deceased's relics so that they can be taken in and out. The accommodating portion 11 can accommodate the accommodating container 10 so that it can be taken out.

As shown in FIG. 6, the storage container 10 includes a container main body 12 and a lid member 13. The container body 12 has a cylindrical shape in which one end 12a is open and the other end 12b is closed, and the opened end 12a is closed by the lid member 13. As a result, the inside of the storage container 10 is maintained in a sealed state. As a result, the deceased's relics are always stored in a stable environment without being exposed to the outside air.

As the material of the container body 12, for example, existing materials such as glass, synthetic resin, metal, and ceramic can be applied, and thus the material is not particularly limited here. Depending on the usage environment and purpose of use, it is assumed that the inside of the container body 12 (that is, the storage container 10) may be checked while being closed by the lid member 13. In this case, the glass container body 12 having excellent transparency may be applied.

As the material of the lid member 13, for example, existing materials such as rubber, cork, glass, synthetic resin, metal, and ceramic can be applied, and thus the material is not particularly limited here. The contour shapes of the container body 12 and the lid member 13 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, the accommodating portion 11 includes an entrance / exit opening 14 and a support member 15. The entrance / exit opening 14 is configured by cutting out a part of the back 1p of the Buddha image 1 in a rectangular shape in a plan view in order to insert / remove the storage container 10. The support member 15 is configured inside the Buddha image 1 cut out by the entrance / exit opening 14.

In the plan view of FIG. 6, the support member 15 is configured to be able to support the storage container 10 (that is, the container body 12 closed by the lid member 13) while being in surface contact with the top, bottom, left, and right. As a result, the storage container 10 inserted into the inside of the Buddha image 1 (that is, the accommodating portion 11) from the entrance / exit opening 14 is stably supported by the support member 15 without rattling (without deviation).

FIG. 7 is a perspective configuration diagram of the lid 9. FIG. 7 shows an example of the lid 9, and the surface 9s of the lid 9 is formed with a part of the Kasaya 6 so as to exert the above-mentioned aesthetic effect when the lid 9 is attached to the back 1p of the Buddha statue 1. It has a contour shape.

The storage structure 8 described above has a detachable mechanism for detachably attaching the lid 9 having such a surface 9s to the Buddha image 1 (back 1p). The attachment / detachment mechanism includes the attachment / detachment recesses 15a, 15b, 15c provided in the support member 15 (see FIG. 6) and the attachment / detachment protrusions 9a, 9b, 9c provided in the lid 9 (see FIG. 7). I have.

As an example in FIG. 6, the support member 15 is provided with three detachable recesses (first recess 15a, second recess 15b, third recess 15c). The first recess 15a is arranged in a portion of the support member 15 closer to the head 2, and the second recess 15b and the third recess 15c are arranged in a portion of the support member 15 from the leg portion 5. The second recess 15b and the third recess 15c are arranged side by side in parallel with each other in the horizontal direction.

The first recess 15a is configured as a gap extending from the entrance / exit opening 14 toward the inside of the Buddha image 1. The first concave portion 15a is designed so that a removable convex portion (first convex portion 9a) of the lid 9, which will be described later, can be inserted.

The second recess 15b and the third recess 15c are configured as a gap extending from the entrance / exit opening 14 toward the leg 5. The second concave portion 15b and the third concave portion 15c are designed so that the removable convex portion (second convex portion 9b, third convex portion 9c) of the lid 9, which will be described later, can be inserted.

As an example in FIG. 7, the lid 9 is provided with three removable convex portions (first convex portion 9a, second convex portion 9b, third convex portion 9c). The first convex portion 9a is arranged at one end of a lid 9 having a rectangular shape in a plan view, and the second convex portion 9b and the third convex portion 9c are the other ends of the lid 9 (the side opposite to one end). ) Is placed. The second convex portion 9b and the third convex portion 9c are arranged side by side in parallel with each other, and are set at the same pitch as the mutual spacing between the second concave portion 15b and the third concave portion 15c of the support member 15 described above.

As shown in FIG. 7, the first convex portion 9a includes a back side extension piece P1, a front side extension piece P2, and a pressing operation piece P3. The back side extension piece P1 extends from one end of the lid 9 toward the back surface (opposite side of the front surface 9s) of the lid 9. The front side extension piece P2 is folded back from the extension end of the back side extension piece P1 toward the surface 9s of the lid 9 and extends. The pressing operation piece P3 is provided at the extending end of the front extending piece P2.

As a result, the back side extension piece P1 and the front side extension piece P2 are in a state of being relatively elastically deformable and supported by one end of the lid 9. As a result, the thickness of the first convex portion 9a can be changed in the directions of the arrows S1 and S2. In this case, by pressing the pressing operation piece P3, the first convex portion 9a is elastically deformed in the direction of the arrow S1 and its thickness becomes thin, and when the pressing operation of the pressing operation piece P3 is released, the first convex portion 9a is elastically deformed. The portion 9a is elastically deformed in the direction of arrow S2, and its thickness is restored to the initial state.

The thickness of the first convex portion 9a in the initial state is set to be slightly larger than the gap of the detachable recess (first concave portion 15a) of the support member 15 described above. Therefore, when the first convex portion 9a is inserted into the first concave portion 15a, the first convex portion 9a is pressed by the gap of the first concave portion 15a and elastically deformed, and the frictional force at this time causes the first convex portion 9a. Is maintained in a state of being locked inside the first recess 15a.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the operation of detachably attaching the lid 9 to the Buddha image 1 (back 1p) by the above-mentioned attachment / detachment mechanism will be described.
First, the storage container 10 containing the deceased's relics is stored in the storage unit 11. At this time, the storage container 10 is stably supported by the support member 15. Next, the second convex portion 9b and the third convex portion 9c are inserted into the second concave portion 15b and the third concave portion 15c of the support member 15 while the back surface of the lid 9 faces the entrance / exit opening 14. Subsequently, while maintaining this state, the first convex portion 9a of the lid 9 is inserted into the first concave portion 15a of the support member 15.

At this time, the first convex portion 9a is pressed by the gap of the first concave portion 15a and elastically deformed, and a frictional force is generated between the two. Then, when the first convex portion 9a is further pushed into the first concave portion 15a, the pressing operation piece P3 eventually comes into contact with the contact surface 15s of the support member 15 configured in the entrance / exit opening 14, and the first convex portion is further increased. The portion 9a cannot be pushed into the first recess 15a. In this state, the lid 9 is arranged together with the storage container 10 so as to cover the entire storage portion 11, and as a result, the surface 9s of the lid 9 matches the contour shape of the Buddha image 1 (back 1p).

As a result, for example, the remains of the deceased, such as ashes, hair, and ashes, can be stored in and out of the Buddha statue 1 (back 1p). At the same time, the lid 9 is detachably attached to the Buddha statue 1 (back 1p). Thus, as shown in FIG. 2, the Buddha image 1 and the relics of the deceased are separably integrated.

Next, when the pressing operation piece P3 is pressed in the state of FIG. 2, the thickness of the first convex portion 9a becomes thinner than the gap of the first concave portion 15a, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. As a result, the locked state between the first convex portion 9a and the first concave portion 15a is released, and the first convex portion 9a can be pulled out from the first concave portion 15a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the lid 9 can be removed from the back 1p of the Buddha image 1. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the storage container 10 housed in the storage unit 11 is taken out.

FIG. 9 is an exploded view of the storage container 10 removed through the above-mentioned removal (mounting) operation. FIG. 9 shows an example of the storage container 10, and the storage container 10 includes a cylindrical container main body 12 and a conical trapezoidal lid member 13. In the container body 12, the opening at one end 12a has a circular shape. The lid member 13 has a tapered shape from the base end 13a toward the tip end 13b.

According to such a configuration, by inserting the lid member 13 into one end (opening) 12a of the container body 12 from the tip 13b side thereof, one end (opening) 12a of the container body 12 can be closed without a gap. As a result, the inside of the storage container 10 can be sealed. As a result, the deceased's relics can always be stored in a stable environment without being exposed to the outside air.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, for example, the storage structure 8 (storage container 10, storage unit 11) for storing and integrating the deceased's relics such as ashes, hair, and ashes so that they can be taken in and out is applied to the Buddha statue 1. Then, the Buddha statue 1 and the relics of the deceased can be separated and integrated.

According to the present embodiment, the contour shape of the lid 9 is set to match the contour shape of the back 1p of the Buddha image 1, so that the storage structure 8 (storage container 10, storage portion 11) is closed by the lid 9. In the state, it is possible to exert an aesthetic effect as if a series of Kasaya 6 are continuously hung along the back 1p without causing a visual discomfort.

According to the present embodiment, by accommodating the storage container 10 having one end (opening) 12a closed with the lid member 13 in the accommodating portion 11, the inside of the storage container 10 is maintained in a sealed state, and the deceased's relics. Can always be stored in a stable environment without exposing it to the outside air.

According to the present embodiment, the storage container 10 housed in the storage unit 11 is stably supported without rattling (without deviation) by the support member 15 coming into surface contact with the support member 15 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

According to the present embodiment, the lid 9 is detachably attached to the Buddha image 1 (back 1p) by the detachable mechanism, so that the lid 9 can be attached by a one-touch operation only by pressing the pressing operation piece P3. It can be easily removed from the back 1p of the Buddha statue 1 in a short time.
