The top glass panel 152 is configured to be able to transmit light from the outside to the inside of the altar 100. The top glass panel 152 may be a board that passes light and may be translucent.

[0014] The bottom panel 160 of the altar 100 is a board that constitutes the bottom surface of the altar 100. The bottom panel 160 is a wooden board.

[0015] The glass shelf board 172 of the altar 100 is a shelf board provided in the middle stage inside the altar 100. The glass shelf board 172 is a transparent glass board. The glass shelf board 172 is supported by pins 171 provided on the right side panel 130 and the left side panel 140. Statues of Buddha and memorial tablets can be placed on the glass shelf board 172. The glass shelf board 172 is configured to be able to transmit light from the top glass panel 152 to the shelf board 174. The glass shelf board 172 may be a board that passes light and may be translucent.

[0016] The shelf board 174 of the altar 100 is a shelf board provided in the lower stage inside the altar 100. The shelf board 174 is a wooden board. Statues of Buddha and memorial tablets can be placed on the shelf board 174.
