Description

This invention relates to a simple altar for placing amulets purchased at a shrine.

In Japan, there has long been a custom of visiting shrines and purchasing ``talismans'' to pray for New Year's visits, business prosperity, health, and safety, and the shape and meaning of talismans have not changed much. On the other hand, the ``kamidana,'' the place where the talismans brought home are kept, has changed over time. The number of people who decorate their homes with authentic Shinto altars, which were once commonplace, is on the decline.In recent years, as homes have become more Western-style, designs that blend seamlessly into Western-style rooms and designs that do not have strong religious overtones are becoming popular. ``Modern Shinto Altars'' and ``Talisman Holders'' are becoming mainstream (see Patent Documents 1 to 3).

As described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, there are many "Modern Shinto Altars" and "Amulet Holders" that are similar in appearance and structure to wall-mounted shelves such as wall shelves, and are simply used to place amulets. These talismans do not have a roof to cover them, so they tend to get covered in dust, which makes them feel like they are being made in poor quality, which is not pleasant. Furthermore, as described in Patent Document 3, some "Modern Shinto Altars" and "Talisman Holders" have roof lids, but these have complex structures and the number of constituent parts. In many cases, a problem arises in that the manufacturing cost becomes high.
Therefore, the present invention provides a simple household altar that harmonizes seamlessly with modern-style houses, allows amulets to be enshrined without making them look shabby, has a simple structure, and is easy to manufacture.

In order to solve the above problems, the simple Shinto altar of the present invention uses one of a single metal plate, a single plastic plate, or a single wood plate as a material, and is cut by a laser processing machine and cut by a bender.

The simple Shinto altar of the present invention is made of a single plate of material and has a simple structure composed of a single part, so it is advantageous in terms of cost compared to a Shinto altar with a complex shape and many parts.

In addition, since the structure is simple, it can easily express a simple and modern design in terms of appearance, and it blends seamlessly into modern Western-style homes.

Furthermore, it has a roof that prevents dust from accumulating on it, so the amulets cannot be handled roughly.
