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 heart and spending time making vows of discipline may be an important aspect of the Japanese spirit.

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