Vintage Japanese Kamidana Shinto Home Shrine

Vintage Japanese Shinto shrine, known as a Kamidana. This item is constructed of fine Sugi (Japanese Cedar), and is in excellent condition. It dates to the mid Showa-Period (c.1950), and comes complete with the traditional miniature sudare (bamboo shades), and tatami reed mats in the three cubby spaces. The roof has been painstakingly thatched with many layers of tiny cedar shakes. Kamidana are miniature shrines displayed in many Japanese offices, dojos, temples and homes. Worship at the Kamidana includes prayer and various offerings of rice, water and flowers. It is important before the ritual of worship at the Kamidana that one's hands are cleansed. This kamidana measures 36 inches wide, 26 inches tall and roughly 14 inches deep at the largest points.
