A religious tool that can be accommodated in a space is provided, and a pedestal portion for mounting the religious tool on the thin main body case is provided.

In the case of such an invention, the thin main body case is placed on a table or the like in the room, the thin lid portion is opened and held at the open angle position, and religious utensils (a mirror, a lamp, a sakaki, a mizuiri, an accessory case, etc.) are mounted on a pedestal. If it is placed on the part, it becomes a shrine or a Buddhist altar. Therefore, it can be easily installed without hitting a nail or the like on a pillar or a crosspiece.

Further, if the thin lid is held at the closed angle position, the upper part of the thin main body case is closed, and the religious tools stored in the inner space do not go outside. In addition, since the entire device can be made thin and small, it is portable. Therefore, it is possible to accompany the driver when traveling.

If the thin lid is held at the closed angle position, religious objects housed in the inner space become invisible. As a result, it becomes a flat box and cannot be seen on the shrine or the altar. Therefore, the indoor atmosphere is not destroyed.
Once stored in a closet or the like, the existence itself cannot be recognized.

Further, the invention according to claim 2 is configured such that a ghost or a guard can be held on the inner surface of the thin lid.
