  • Kamidana
rdfs:comment
  • The kamidana is typically placed high on a wall and contains a wide variety of items related to Shinto-style ceremonies, the most prominent of which is the "shintai", an object meant to house a chosen kami. Kamidana shintai are most commonly small circular mirrors, though they can also be stones (magatama), jewels, or some other object with largely symbolic value. Failing that, an ofuda, a type of charm, can also be used. The kami within the shintai is often the deity of the local shrine or one particular to the house owner's profession.
