Japanese

これは祠といい、神様の住む建物を模した、高さ50センチ程のとても小さな小屋です。日本各地の神社や街角、田畑の中などにあり、神道の神様、お稲荷様など信仰の対象物が祀られています。日本の人々の様々な信仰の対象となってきました。お稲荷様の狐像などと一緒に、お庭や部屋に飾ってみてはいかがでしょうか。素朴な信仰の象徴であり、安らぎが得られることでしょう。
また、調べてみて私も驚きましたが、鹿児島や京都のものは900ドル程と大変な高値で取引されており、出回ることも少なく入手が困難です。

English

This is a small house called "Hokora" whose height is about 50cm and it imitates a building gods live.
It is mostly in shrines, at street corner, or in fields and gods of Shinto or Fox gods(Oinarisama) are worshiped in "Hokora".
And also it has been an Japanese worship object of many kinds of belief.
why don't you display it in your yard or room with an idol of fox(Oinarisama) or something else?
It represents peaceful belief so that you can ease your mind.
And "Hokora" from kyoto or kagoshima is very expensive which I was surprised after I have researched about "Hokora" and it costs about $900.
So it hardly be on the market and very difficult to obtain.

良い訳だと思います。細かいですが、文頭と地名だけ大文字に訂正させていただきました。
