Within the realm of the Isumu brand, a collection of polystone statues unveils a symphony of artistry. These statues transcend the ordinary, meticulously recreating the intricate tapestry of the original masterpieces. Many of these embodiments hold the revered title of Japanese national treasures, resonating with the cultural chords that echo through time. Isumu extends a hand, inviting you to usher back into your life the age-old elegance of traditional Buddhist statues, a treasure trove cherished deeply within the folds of Japanese heritage.
Crafted with finesse, Isumu's polystone Buddhist statues find their essence in a fusion of powdered limestone and synthetic resin. This composite material, akin to the cool touch of stone, carries an enduring resilience against the ebb and flow of time's passage. However, like a delicate poem, it thrives best in the gentle embrace of shelter, shunning extremes of heat, moisture, and the outdoors
The saga of Isumu's statues unravels as a testament to artisanal mastery, each chapter inscribed with care: The Prototype phase, an orchestration of artistry, births the original model over months of meticulous calculation and expertise, a tribute to the soul of the original masterpiece. In the Piece Creation stage, silicon dances under the hands of skilled artisans, their touch shaping delicate details with mastery akin to brushstrokes on a canvas. Polishing and Assembly, a symphony of care, sees each piece meticulously polished before they come together, united in a sequence woven with precision to ensure an unwavering symphony of quality. Coloring, a ritualistic homage to history, employs an array of materials including pigments and gold leaves, a canvas of artistry narrating tales of the ages. An adept among the artisans, entrusted with the delicate art of coloring eyes, adds the final flourish.
