If i had to create my own Shinto Kamidana it would be very interesting. My shrine would be placed in a room which we call it the new room. It is located on my first floor of my house and that is the room that when you enter the home, is the first room. It is more of a open room that many people would see.
The one thing that would be very important to me would be a butterfly. Ever since i was little i was always into Butterflies but as i got older they meant more to me than just an insect. They represent freedom, peace and life. When i look at a Butterfly i think of my life being free. Away from problems. The color purple would be on the Shrine. That is my favorite color. It would put a silk purple sheet laying on the shrine. The next things i would put on the Shrine would be pictures of family memories and family members taht have died, as a reminder they still are here in soul. I would also put candels at the both ends of the shrine because they give relaxation. That is something that i need in my life and that i cherish. Lighting candles at night gives me a time to myself and a time to forget of every stressful thing that happened during that day.

Loren i'm really happy that i'm the first to comment on this. I must say ur shrine would be very interesting i agree with you butterflies are always free, they get to fly around and just live thus representing ife which is very important.Secondly the candles to me its a guiding light but to you its relaxation and you said its very important to you, i guess everyone needs to unwind sometime. I must say in conclusion your shrine is very nice.
