This pair of sakaki branches (two pieces) is made from preserved Japanese camellia leaves (specially treated with chemicals and colorings harmless to the wood) and carefully woven one by one. <Utility Model Registered No. 3222297>
◆No Watering Required◆Long-Lasting Beauty Because it uses domestically grown camellia leaves, it rarely withers, curls, or wilts, a common problem with imported sakaki, and will remain beautiful for many years. The golden color of the sakaki is gorgeous, auspicious, and associated with increased wealth and good fortune.
Since it does not require watering, it is clean and free of the rotten smell. Changing the water, which can be a time-consuming task, is eliminated, especially for high-mounted Shinto altars.
Since it is made from preserved, real, live wood, you can offer it to the gods without hesitation. *Please do not water it.
*This is a very delicate product. Touching the leaves may cause discoloration or cracking.
