Many Shinto practitioners also have a "kamidana" or family shrine in their home. These usually consist of shelves placed at an elevated position in the living room. The popularity of "kamidana" increased greatly during the Meiji era. "Kamidana" can also be found in workplaces, restaurants, shops, and ocean-going ships. Some public shrines sell entire kamidana. Along with the "kamidana", many Japanese households also have "butsudan", Buddhist altars enshrining the ancestors of the family; ancestral reverence remains an important aspect of Japanese religious tradition. In the rare instances where Japanese individuals are given a Shinto funeral rather than a Buddhist one, a "tama-ya", "mitama-ya", or "sorei-sha" shrine may be erected in the home in place of a "butsudan". This will be typically placed below the "kamidana" and includes symbols of the resident ancestral spirit, for instance a mirror or a scroll.
