Vintage Japanese Kamidana Shinto Shrine, Showa Era (SKU 25D-314-5)

Showa-era wooden kamidana with simple village-shrine styling

This vintage Japanese Shinto shrine, or kamidana, is crafted in dark-stained wood with a quietly dignified presence. The design echoes a modest countryside shrine, with a steeply pitched roof, raised base, and a pair of hinged doors that open to reveal a small inner sanctuary for a household deity or protective talisman.

Weathered edges, light scuffs, and a gently worn finish speak to years of devotional use, adding authentic patina without compromising structural integrity. Ideal as a spiritual focal point, a niche display for a ofuda or small statue, or as an evocative accent in a wabi-sabi interior, this Showa-era piece brings a quiet sense of Shinto tradition into the home.

  • Origin: Japan
  • Era: Showa period (vintage)
  • Material: Wood with dark stain
  • Use: Household Shinto shrine (kamidana) for enshrining an ofuda or small deity image
  • Features: Steep gabled roof, double front doors, raised plinth base, simple linear lattice detailing, warm aged patina with visible wear consistent with use
  • Dimensions: 10"W x 6"D x 15"H
  • Condition: Good vintage condition with surface scratches, edge wear, and finish losses that enhance its rustic character

A characterful Showa-era kamidana for collectors, designers, or anyone wishing to invite a touch of authentic Shinto atmosphere into their 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.
