Hi Noel,
Thanks for sending this it could possibly help with the proposal
for making a gohonzon with extra geometry, but I don't have the

Unfortunately, we are running out of time, and the farthest we
could get is to experiment that siddham should be in 24k gold:

If we're going to do apostasy against the typical Nichiren hanging
wall scroll, then of course, we need to develop expertise in the
field of "kakejiku".
^^ this first experiment was done using Nori paste and it turned
out Okay. But do you think it looks to much like Hunab Ku?
That's what we're all laughing about . . .
Happy new year,
