| Title |
Portable shrine with 30 guardian deities |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
The shrine represents 30 guardian deities, one to be worshipped on each day of the month; all native deities, ‘kami’. In the centre is an invocation to the Lotus Sutra, written by the Buddhist monk Nichinen. This is an example of how Buddhism and kami worship were closely associated in Japan until they were separated in the late 1800s. |
