Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a portable Buddhist altar that is used when out on a trip or the like.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, large Buddhist altars are built into the room, while regular ones are placed in the corners of the room, like chests of drawers and mirror stands. Every morning and evening, people of deep faith worship and make offerings to the principal image of worship and the spirits of their ancestors in front of the Buddhist altar, chanting sutras and preparing incense and flowers. Also, devout believers perform prayers and memorial services even when they are away, such as when traveling. At this time, it would lack solemnity if the worship or memorial service was performed facing the wall of the room instead of in front of the Buddhist altar. Therefore, if possible, it is desirable to worship and make offerings in front of the Buddhist altar even when out and about.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, Buddhist altars are generally not placed in modern inns and hotel rooms, so if you want to worship or offer a memorial service in front of a Buddhist altar even when you are out, you must transport the altar by yourself. Or, you must carry a Buddhist altar with you. However, it is not easy to transport the Buddhist altar using means of transportation every time the person goes out for a trip or the like. Further, even if a conventional Buddhist altar is small, it is meant to be placed on a shelf or furniture, or hung on a wall, and is too large and inconvenient to carry when going out, such as when traveling.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and aims to provide a portable Buddhist altar that is small and convenient to carry without compromising the solemnity of the Buddhist altar.

[Means for solving problems]

To achieve the above object, the present invention consists of a Buddhist altar body that is divided into two parts that can be opened and closed, a resting part provided at the top of the Buddhist altar body, and a storage for storing incense sticks provided at the back of the resting part. an incense stick provided in the storage part, an outlet for taking incense sticks in and out, a storage part provided at the lower part of the Buddhist altar body, and an incense stick holder stored in the storage part, and when carried, the incense sticks and incense sticks can be stored. The main body of the Buddhist altar is constructed such that the stand and the main body of the Buddhist altar are housed integrally.

[Effect]

With the above-described structure, the present invention stores incense sticks in advance in the storage part, and places Buddhist statues, tablets, etc. in the enshrinement part. When in use, after taking out the incense stick from the outlet of the storage part, open the Buddhist altar body, take out the incense stick from the storage part and place it in front of the Buddhist altar body, and perform worship and memorial services by standing the incense stick in the incense stick.

When carried, the incense holder is stored in the housing part of the Buddhist altar body and the Buddhist altar body is closed. As a result, when carrying the altar, it is possible to carry not only Buddhist statues, etc., but also incense sticks and incense holders necessary for worship and memorial services, stored inside the main body of the Buddhist altar.
