DOG
My Akita who happens to be a Japanese breed is named Jade Ono. Like Jade, she brings us good luck, and strong faith.
TREE
The trees provides us with oxygen, shade, protection from the wind, and cold winters.
ROSEARY BEADS
They are a symbol of the Catholic religion. We pray to Mary our Blessed Mother.CRUCIFIX
Represents Jesus Christ’s “Ultimate Sacrifice” for all Christians, who believed in him.
FLOWERS (chrysanthemums)
Represent Joy, peace, vitality, and happiness. In Japan, they celebrate the Kiku festival using these beautiful chrysanthemums.FAMILY
My family is the strength of my life. They give me love, affection, and education. My Kamidana would be place on the mantle of our home. The fireplace is focal point to a family’s home. When company comes they gather in that sacred area. I can admire and show more gratitude for all these important objects, and people in my life. Shinto religion would respect the sacred objects of other religions, such as the Catholic Rosary Beads, and Crucifix that are found on my Kamidana (Holy Sacred Shelf). The tree and chrysanthemums are sacred symbols of nature. The Shinto religion would look at them as if they were gods. My dog would also be worshiped as a sacred gift from a god.
