Kamidana 神棚 - Wood - Japan - Heisei period (1989-2019)

--------------------
A Kamidana (神棚) is a small Shinto altar found in many Japanese homes, shops, and places of work. It is a household shrine used to enshrine a Shinto kami (spirit or deity) and is often placed on a high shelf to show reverence. The kamidana typically holds offerings such as rice, water, salt, and sake as a way to honor the kami and ask for blessings, protection, and good fortune.

The shrine consists of a small wooden structure, often modeled after a traditional Shinto shrine, and it may contain small talismans or symbols of the kami, such as amulets from a local Shinto shrine. Families usually maintain the kamidana with daily or regular rituals, such as offering fresh food or bowing in respect.

For non-Japanese individuals, it's important to recognize that the kamidana represents the connection between the household and the spiritual world, reflecting Shinto beliefs about the presence of spirits in nature and daily life.
