A mikoshi (Japanese: 神輿) is a sacred religious palanquin (also translated as a portable Shinto
shrine). Shinto followers believe that it
serves as the vehicle to transport a deity in Japan while moving between the main shrine and temporary shrine during a
festival or when moving to a new shrine. Often, the mikoshi resembles a miniature building, with pillars, walls, a roof, a veranda, and a railing. (to cite this page from Wikipedia/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoshi) 👇
