Small wooden shrine with an elegantly arched roof and fine fretwork, crafted in natural wood.
Dimensions: heigth 37 cm, width 34 cm, depth 22 cm.
Behind the double doors sits a polychrome gypsum figure of a seated monk in richly painted robes, on a pedestal with gilt details.
The central section with doors is removable.
Originally used as a household altar: the architecture follows a Shinto kamidana, while the figure is Buddhist—a harmonious blend typical of mid-20th-century Japan.
Now a characterful interior piece: compact, architectural and warm in presence—an inviting, contemplative accent for a console, cabinet or wall niche.
Good condition with age-appropriate wear and patina visible in the photos.
