 Vtg Japanese Buddhist Altar Butsudan Part

This item is a decorative ranma border part from a Japanese vintage wooden Buddhist altar cabinet. This gorgeous piece is brushed with a brown lacquer. The main feature is a collection of intricately carved wooden flowers (plum) as well as birds. At the very back of the piece is a wooden slat backing. There is incredible 3D depth to the design of this piece and is visually interesting to look at. Use it as a replacement part or as decoration. Ranma allow light and air to pass through as well as add decorative detail to not only butsudan home altars, but also between room in traditional Japanese homes and palaces.

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".
