Kaimyou Maker is a powerful and comprehensive app for the automatic generation, editing, and management of kaimyou.
It not only generates kaimyou automatically but also allows you to issue and print kaimyou certificates, which can even be used as ihai (memorial tablets).
This app serves not only individuals seeking a kaimyou for themselves or their loved ones but also as a professional-grade integrated kaimyou editing tool suitable for use by clergy members.

Are there people like this?

Do you think kaimyou must be given by monks or temples?
With this app, there’s no need to pay a high price for a kaimyou.
No matter how many kaimyou you create or for how many people, it’s free.

Now, why not create a kaimyou yourself?
It’s also highly recommended for temple staff looking to manage their parishioners.

• You can give a kaimyou yourself.

• Creating a pre-death kaimyou can also bring peace of mind in life.

• In reality, if you request one from a temple or monk, you may be asked to offer tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen, or even millions in some cases.

• However, this is money you don’t actually need to pay.

• Wouldn’t the deceased prefer that such money be spent on their descendants rather than on unnecessary expenses?

• Are you worried, thinking, "But isn’t it impossible without a deep understanding and knowledge of Buddhism?"

• This app allows you to easily generate a kaimyou with a single button, following Buddhist conventions.

• It automatically adapts to the various forms and practices of different denominations.

• All users need to do is decide if they’re satisfied with the generated kaimyou; you can redo it as many times as you like until you’re happy with it.

• It supports a wide range of Buddhist denominations and allows kaimyou (houmyou, hougou, myougou, okurina) to be created in the style of each denomination.
• For example, it can generate not only the common "~Koji" but also denomination-specific forms such as "~Shaku" in Jodo Shinshu.
• It also supports high-grade kaimyou that usually require a significant monetary offering, such as "~In Koji," "~In Shaku," or "~In Nichishinshi."
• Kaimyou are generated with consideration for tonal balance (hyousoku), resulting in phonetically harmonious names.
  *Hyousoku refers to the tonal distinctions inherent in each Kanji character.
• You can incorporate the person's family name or given name into the kaimyou.
• The number of characters in the ingou, dougou, kaimyou, or yogou can be freely adjusted, enabling the creation of unconventional kaimyou.
• The app automatically excludes Kanji characters that are considered undesirable based on Buddhist customs.
  *It is not strictly necessary to adhere to Buddhist conventions.
• Of course, even characters considered taboo can be intentionally included if desired.
  *After all, it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

• The automatically generated kaimyou can be freely edited.

• You can modify it on a per-kanji basis or select the pronunciation.

• Additionally, you can register your favorite kanji to make them appear more frequently in future generations or exclude them altogether.

• It is also possible to lock specific parts of the generated kaimyou while automatically regenerating other sections.

• A database of kaimyou from historical figures and notable individuals is included for reference.

• The simple ihai feature allows you to use a smartphone as a temporary ihai.

• Bonji and prefix characters can also be displayed on the ihai and are automatically assigned according to the selected sect.

• Additionally, it supports the display of plain wooden ihai, living ihai, and secular name ihai.

• It also supports red ink notation for living kaimyou.

• You can play the mokugyo or orin in conjunction with the display.

• Equipped with a parishioner management feature, allowing you to manage multiple individuals by their name, age, sect, and more.

• This makes it highly recommended for professionals who need to manage kaimyou for many individuals.

• Issue a Kaimyou Certificate on the spot and print it directly from your smartphone.
  *For the Switch version, printing is unavailable; save the certificate to the album instead.
• The certificate background can be set to plain, allowing you to print on your own ceremonial paper.
• Alternatively, you can choose a traditional Japanese paper pattern, giving an elegant appearance even when using standard white copy paper.
• You can modify the issuing organization and issuer details, making it suitable for professionals presenting certificates to parishioners.
• Supports red-lettering formatting for issuing Kaimyou during a person’s lifetime.

• Send Kaimyou and certificates via email or social media, or save them to storage.
