Shinto, the  ancient indigenous religion of Japan, recognizes many spirits of nature and mythological figures. Shinto is also an essential symbol of the nation, intimately linked to the emperor. Shinto shrines and items are usually simple in design and ornament, made of unfinished wood and natural materials.

Buddhist shrines and accessories originated in India and China, and  are usually much more colorful and ornate. The two religions have always gotten along well together, and can  be represented in the same shrine, even in the same deity.

These shrines, figures, deities, all the heavenly guardians, provide valuable spiritual, cultural, and artistic insights.
