However, in conventional tombstones of this type, engraving the Jizo statue on the front of the middle dai required manual work by stonemasons and was impossible to mass-produce industrially. Simply placing the Gohonzon in a shrine would expose it to the rain or cause it to be lost, so it was not suitable for enshrining the Gohonzon.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above points.In a tombstone constructed from a grass stand, a middle stand, an upper stand, and a pole, a predetermined depth is placed at the center of the front of the upper stand. It was constructed by hollowing out a shrine and enshrining the Gohonzon inside the shrine.

(Means for Solving the Problems) An example of the implementation of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. A is a tombstone, which is assembled and constructed from a lawn stand 1, a middle stand 2, an upper stand 3, and a pole 4, respectively. .

In the present invention, a shrine 5 of a predetermined depth is hollowed out in the center of the front of the upper stand 3, and the Gohonzon 6 is enshrined in this shrine 5.

A fitting groove 7 is bored along the inner side of the upper edge of the shrine 5 drilled in the upper stand 3, and a wall 8 is fitted into the fitting groove 7 and fixed, and the shrine 5 is installed under tension. The edge is formed with a step 9, and the front decoration stand 10 is positioned forward of the step 9 of the shrine 5 and placed on the middle stand 2.

A vertical shaft hole 12 is bored approximately in the center of the bottom surface 11 of the shrine 5, and a bottom surface 13 of the Gohonzon 6 is formed.
A shaft hole 14 is drilled through the shaft hole 12 of the shrine 5, and the fixed shaft 15 is inserted into the shaft hole between the Gohonzon and the shrine 5, thereby placing the Gohonzon 6 inside the shrine 5. Place it in a fixed place.

As shown in FIG. 3, the front edge of the bottom surface 11 of the shrine 5 is provided with a slope or a chamfer 16 to prevent rainwater from flowing into the shrine 5 from the front decoration stand 10. Form.

(Function) Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the upper stand 3
Since the shrine 5 can be mechanically hollowed out, it is suitable for mass production with a certain standard, and the Gohonzon 6 fixedly enshrined in the shrine 5 can be protected from wind and rain and also prevented from being lost. The ridge 8 can be fixedly installed by fitting it into the fitting groove 7 provided on the upper edge of the shrine 5, but it can be fixed even more securely by gluing it with cement or the like, and it can be placed in the shrine 5. The Gohonzon 6 is further protected from wind and rain by this wall 8, and it is difficult to take out the Gohonzon 6 from the shrine 5, thereby reliably preventing loss due to theft or the like.

At the same time, when visiting the grave and offering incense, you can join your ancestors in praying to the Gohonzon.

(Embodiment) FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the bottom surface 11 of the shrine 5 is sloped forward as a whole and has a horizontal seat 17 on which the Gohonzon 6 is placed. This structure is designed to prevent rainwater from accumulating inside the shrine 5.

Further, the fitting groove 7 is bored in an arc shape along the upper edge of the shrine 5 in order to install an arc-shaped wall 8 as shown in FIG. When the sleeve 8 is fitted, both ends of the sleeve 8 are placed on the lower ends of both sides of the fitting groove 7, and the arcuate outer edge of the sleeve 8 is engaged with the arcuate portion of the fitting groove 7. The above part 8
to be securely fixed and held in the fitting groove 7.

(Effects) Therefore, in the present invention, the shrine on the upper stand can be formed by mechanically hollowing out, the fitting groove is also formed mechanically in the process of hollowing out the shrine, and the rim is formed by the fitting groove provided on the upper edge of the shrine. Since it can be fixedly installed by fitting it into the groove, it is suitable for mass production with a certain standard, and the Gohonzon that is fixedly enshrined in the shrine is completely protected from the wind and rain, and at the same time, it can be reliably prevented from being lost. can. By setting up a shrine in which the Gohonzon is enshrined, the deceased buried in the grave will be cared for.
When the deceased wishes to seek guidance from the Gohonzon that they worshiped during their lifetime, and at the same time prays for incense when visiting the grave.
It has the advantage of allowing you to join your ancestors in clasping your hands to the Gohonzon.
