The kagami, or sacred mirror, is one of several forms of goshintai, or embodiments for Kami-sama.
When Amaterasu withdrew from the world due to her younger brother Susanoo's wildness, she was enticed back out of the Heavenly Rock Cave by dancing and seeing her face (and light) reflected in the mirror hung on the hinoki (pine) tree. Kagami is now a common kamidana item, linked mainly with Amaterasu.
By gazing in this mirror, we are reminded that we carry the light of the Kamisama within us as their children, and may receive messages and instruction from them. It is said that when the mirror becomes clouded, trouble is on it's way.
Kamidana not included, so that you may choose one of your own. Kamidana available by special order to suit your needs, though several sizes will be available soon.
