Kamidana (TCG)

Kamidana were miniature household altars provided to enshrine a kami or to honor a particualr Fortune. It rested within a little alcove just large enough to accommodate kneeling or on a shelf and contained small sculptures, charms, blessing ropes, and often a humble shintai of sorts. Many urban shugenja had a kamidana in their home so they could commune with the kami without visiting a city shrine. Samurai who worked closely with shugenja or were especially reverent of kami also tended to have a kamidana in their home. Kamidana could be found on boats as well, so that sailors at sea could still worship the Fortunes. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 155
