Many Homes Have Altar Or Temple Shelves,

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.
