These days, proper artistry and authenticity are all too often sacrificed at the altar of mass production and generic design. I was searching for a pendant that had the entire, or at least some of, the Heart Sutra on it. So when I stumbled upon Team Wakon, this collective of craftsmen who still take pride in the quality and beauty of their work, and Master Saito's work, I knew I found the one.

The pendant is perfect. Size, weight, design, the engraving - all of it is exactly as it should be. Each character of the sutra is crisp and readable. The communication was superb, with great conversation and regular updates on the order process. It was shipped to Scotland without a single issue.

This is the perfect way to keep the Buddha's teachings on Prajnaparamita, the true heart of wisdom, close to your own everyday.
