in Japan,
they are called kamidana, (literally,
“god shelf”),
architect Naohiko Shimoda has taken the concept to create
actual miniature shrines in an awe-inspiring scale,
Naohiko
Shimoda is a practicing architect but at the request of a client he
took on a side project to create this spectacularly detailed miniature kamidana, it was designed specifically for an inner corner, you can see more of Shimoda’s work on his website, as well as
follow him on
Instagram, many years ago when we lived in Thailand we had a temple shelf, but nowhere as detailed as this one.
