Notes:
The term “shrine”, in English, tends to mean a tomb or casket containing holy relics, or an altar or chapel with special religious associations or hallowed by some event. However, Japanese shrines are different and are, rather, respected places for worship where deities (“kami” in Japanese) inhabit or descend. They do not contain holy relics.
