Zushi Shinto Altar Edo Period

This is a wooden shrine from the Edo period.
It is a very tasteful masterpiece, blackened with soot from being smoked by hearth fires for a long time.
Please check the photos for dimensions.
A wooden statue of a male deity was enshrined within.

While details are unknown, the era may be even older than the Edo period.

This item was not originally intended for sale, so before taking photos, I repaired broken or detached parts with adhesive.
Ideally, it should have been repaired with wooden pegs according to traditional methods, but please be aware of this.

Wooden pegs protrude from the roof of the shrine (see Photo No. 13).
The right door does not open cleanly as it is too short (see Photo No. 11).
As shown in Photo No. 12, the pegs are not fully inserted.
The inside of the shrine also has gaps and chipped areas due to age-related deterioration.
Please check the photos.

If there are any areas not fully captured in the photos, please let me know and I will provide additional ones.

As this is a very old item, please understand that some of the soot attached to the item may come off during packing and shipping.

This is a long-term storage item.

There are scratches, dirt, missing parts, and holes due to age.
We appreciate your understanding.
