Set of Japanese Shinto “Sakaki” Flower Stands – Kiso Hinoki, 1970s

Set of two charming wooden stands for small ceramic vases, traditionally used in Shinto home altars (Kamidana) to hold sakaki branches or flowers as offerings to the kami (deities).

Dimensions: height 14 cm, width 15 cm, depth 15 cm.

The box-shaped holders are crafted from light Kiso Hinoki wood, featuring cross-patterned side panels and protruding corner joints. At the center of each lid is an opening designed to hold a white-and-blue ceramic vase.

Today, they make a distinctive and original interior accent – simple, architectural, and refined – reflecting the pure aesthetic of Japanese Shinto craftsmanship.
