The sacred mirror is generally placed at the front of the kamidana. It is said to mean not only as a sacred object but also to reflect one's true self standing before the gods.
Reflecting on one's invisible inner feelings and spending time with a vow of discipline may be an important aspect of the Japanese spirit.

This is a sacred mirror with finely carved cloud patterns on the base.
