The katsuma is a cross made with three prongs on each arm, thus forming 12 prongs, which symbolize the 12 aspects of the laws of cause and effect (Jp: innen). Its full name is Katsuma Kongo, or gilt-bronze katsuma. The twelve innen are the interrelated basic elements causing human suffering. As a ritual implement, gilt-bronze katsuma are placed on the four corners of the altar to facilitate completion of the deed, in terms of the laws of cause and effect. The exhibit is a type known as “Lotus Katsuma” and is decorated with lotus petals at the base of the prong and an eight-petal lotus flower in the center.
