Super Mercari Sale - Last Spurt! Flat Price! I want to get rid of unwanted items, so let's make it a win-win. While organizing my father's workplace, I found several unopened Buddhist altar fittings carefully stored away. I haven't even taken them out of the bags for photos. I apologize for the poor visibility. There was a newspaper from 2018, so I believe the items are at least 7 years old. They are new and unused, but please understand the minor details. They are finished in a reddish-brown color, perhaps imitating wood grain, with black patterns. I didn't know the meaning of "karakane" (bronze), so I looked it up. I believe it is not more expensive than brass. Here's a copy of what I found for your reference: Definition and Composition Karakane (bronze): An alloy primarily of copper, with added tin and lead. In a broad sense, it is a type of bronze. Historically, it has been widely used in art and craft items such as Buddhist statues, temple bells, and tea ceremony utensils. Brass (yellow brass) An alloy of copper and zinc. It is relatively inexpensive and easy to process, so it is widely used in everyday items, architectural hardware, and musical instruments. Rarity and Value Karakane often has artistic and cultural value due to its manufacturing techniques and historical background, making it highly rare. Brass is mass-produced industrially and widely distributed, so the rarity of the material itself is relatively low. Price In a simple price comparison of the materials, it varies depending on the market price of the metals included and the shape of the product, but as finished art and antique items, karakane tends to be more expensive. Please judge the size from the images.
