Christian Butsudan

I have been reading with interest of late about "Butsudan"

Its a beautiful Japanese altar cupboard used by Buddhists of Nichiren persuasion or those that come from the SGI or the Sokka Gakai International Buddhist denomination. Used to house the Gohonzon or the "kami" spirit, the Butsudan has 2 distinctive layers of doors folded twice when opened (collapsible)

A very culturally Japanese traditional fixture at home, almost every old Japanese family has one (except those who have converted to other faiths)

Butsudan doors are opened only during prayer sessions and also comes with an assortment of singing bowl/bell, a candle, incense, scripture stand, and also houses pictures and ancestral tablets of the departed. During evenings, it is closed. Am not sure why it ought to be closed since spirits or a diety cannot be physically "trapped" by it for safekeeping.

but all those doors kinda make it look cool and sleek with a deep resonance of solemn feel to it which i like.

Here are some of the many samples online which are really cool

 Absolutely beautfully lacquered and gold plated at the right places.
Something I was thinking if i can get hold of one to house a crucifix and the number of statues that I have.

 A thought has come to mind...what if i make one myself? wouldn't that be interesting? hmm...how ah?
the models i've seen online look kinda tricky to make one.

Or should i just buy a 2 door cupboard and convert it into one?

 Am considering of having one for a Catholic altar. No harm right? Fancy "Asianising/Japanising" my Catholic devotions with this one. Something to look forward to!
