Traditional Buddhist altars were independent with a considerable volume,
Usually, it is placed in a fixed place such as a tatami room or a Buddhist altar, and recently some Buddhist altar sets are built into the recesses of the left and right wall structure between the pillars of the building itself, but these are all quite expensive. It takes up a lot of space and money, and in modern narrow homes, not only is the living space constricted, but it also lacks harmony with the furniture.Also, these days, there are small-sized Buddhist altars that are suitable for small homes, but these are very independent. It takes up a certain amount of space, or if placed in an unstable place such as on a chest of drawers or a bookshelf, it is not only inconvenient because it lacks stability, but also does not harmonize with other furniture, making it difficult to maintain the coherence of the room. There are problems in terms of gender and aesthetics, so recent small-scale Western-style houses,
In condominiums, etc., it is difficult to find a place to enshrine Buddhist altars,

At the top of the Buddhist altar section, a palace is formed with a simple altar made up of an arbitrary number of tiers and can be commonly applied to each sect, and at the bottom of the palace there is a drawer for storing small items for Buddhist rituals.
