My wife found these Saint Nichiren vases at Sakura Gifts From Japan, a store she frequents in what passes for Japantown in Sacramento. The owner, Nobuko Saiki Pang, is not a member of the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church and this is the first Nichiren-themed item we’ve found at her store, which contains a wide array of products made in Japan.

The vases, which stand 6 inches tall and are about 3.5 inches at their widest diameter, are hand decorated and stamped “JAPAN” on the bottom.
