| A metal- cast bowl was already
popular named as ORIN. |
It is an unfamiliar word, “Sahari”. This means name
of a metal that had been brought from ancient China. This
is seen in Shosoin, an over-century warehouse of ancient
and national treasures. A metal- cast bowl was already
popular named as ORIN.
The sound of ORIN fabricated by Sahari has been believed
as that may beat the devil and clean the atmosphere. This
was originally and traditionally believed, but this religion
is being faded out,
I want to keep the tradition and succeed this holy sound
of Sahari. I with people will know about Sahari more.

| About Sahari |
“Maiko RIN” is made from a metal called Sahari.
Sahari gives deep reverberation. This is written in various
ways of Chinese characters that Japanese people use.
A alloy metal between copper and tin、and this is very
difficult to produce because the percentage of tin is
so high that nowadays most of today’s atelier can not
fabricate Sahari. This sarahi has been used for Buddhist
religious tool at the time of prey.
The sound of Sahari is characterized with its deep sound
that undulates in a low tone. The reverberation is particular
to this metal. As you use in a long period of time the
sound is deepened more. |

Sahari is an alloy metal, and tin is mixed in a high rate.
Temperature control is an essential point to make a qualified
Sahari. The holy sound is made at this moment of temperature
control.
Timing of forging and temperature of the mold are also
essential.
Climate influences the quality. It’s a real skill counting
climate, temp, season, etc into consideration.
Kyoto is famous for hot summer climate, and atelier can
be as hot as 100 C around.
Fabricators fight the heat suffering from their sweat.
CORIN comes up in this tough circumstance of works. |
