CHIE KATORI

"I aim to deliver skills that have been passed down through many generations."

I want to share Kyoto's sculpting techniques, which have been handed down from ancient times, with people all over the world. Not limited to Buddhist altars and ritual implements, I also create products that can be easily used in everyday household settings.

ARTISAN STORY

Chie Katori
Originally from Hokkaido, now thriving as a Buddhist statue sculptor in Kyoto Prefecture. One of the attractions of their work is the effort and ingenuity that have been accumulated over many generations, passed down from master to apprentice. They specialize in detailed carvings.

KYO BUTSUDAN / KYOTO BUDDHIST ALTARS

About 1,000 years ago / 1000s / Heian Period (794–1185)

Kyoto Buddhist altars developed after the Heian period as temple building concentrated sculptors, woodworkers, lacquerers, gilders and decorative metal specialists in the capital. During the Edo period, the growth of major Buddhist sects and household worship increased demand, turning Kyoto into a center for highly sophisticated altars and ritual fittings.

In Japan, a household altar is a place to address ancestors and remember the dead. Large traditional altars have become less common in compact urban homes, but smaller prayer spaces and furniture-like designs continue to adapt the practice to modern life.

A Kyoto altar is rarely the work of one craftsperson. Wood construction, carving, lacquer, gold leaf, maki-e, metal fittings and final assembly can be divided among numerous specialists. In a single cabinet, many of Kyoto’s most important craft traditions are brought together—almost like a miniature temple.
