About the Item
An early tiled shrine"KAWARA-ZUSHI".
Ceramic shrines were made in pottery producing areas all over the country, but they are rare, and are only made in Okayama today.
It is thought that this tiled shrine was placed on the mountain behind the house to worship the family god, but the details are unknown.
In Okayama, it enshrines a local god called Odokusama, and in Kochi, it is sometimes placed in the middle of a rice field as a unique shrine to worship the goddess of rice fields (called Ogesama), who is also said to be the god of fertility.
This item was burned down in Shikoku or Okayama, and it is thought that it was actually enshrined for a long time, so as you can see from the image, it is dirty overall and there are some chips in the roof, but overall it is in good condition.
