Vintage Japanese Shinto Shrine (SKU 25D-314-1)

Showa-era wooden kamidana with curved roof and gilt crest fittings

This vintage Japanese Shinto shrine, or kamidana, is crafted in warm-toned softwood with a gracefully arched roof and raised front veranda. The triple-door sanctuary is accented with gilt metal crests and decorative plaques, evoking the dignified presence of a small jinja within the home.

Shaped side panels, balustrades with cloud-form cutouts, and corner posts capped in dark metal lend architectural depth and traditional character. The sliding central doors open to reveal a simple inner chamber, ideal for housing a household deity or for use as a contemplative display in a Japanese-inspired interior.

A characterful Showa-era shrine that brings an authentic touch of Japanese Shinto tradition to any space.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
