Vtg Japanese Buddhist Altar Butsudan Doors
This is a 2-piece set of inner doors coming from a Japanese vintage wooden Buddhist altar cabinet. The two doors, a total of four tall panels, showcase a slatted front and back with a light mesh material with a crane and cloud pattern on the inside for airflow. There are brass metal plate embellishments on the border as well as the hinges. At the very bottom is a decorative square piece that features various makie paintings of flowers and symbolic birds on the front and simple cherry blossoms on the back. There are two small metal hanging pull handles.
In Japan, the Buddhist altar is a place to enshrine the principal image that is the center of faith, and is a sacred place to hold memorial services for ancestors as a "small temple in the home".
