Hasegawa, a Japanese company specializing in creating Buddhist altars, has released a miniature “Oshi Altar” for your favorite anime characters. You can decorate the podium with LED lights for display purposes. Hasegawa also sells attachments you can use to hang them from your walls, as well as additional miniature balcony-like shelves if you want to show off your entire collection like this. The Oshi Altar costs 13,750 JPY ($92.45).
The altar uses real Japanese cypress in its construction. In Japan, Japanese cypress, or hinoki, is often the material that builders use for palaces, temples, shrines, baths, and traditional noh theaters. Because of the small size of the pulpit, the maximum size of your oshi should be around 16 centimeters tall. You can display figures, Nendoroids, acrylic stands, as well as multiple characters onto the podium depending on the size and type of merchandise you own.
Here are some more pictures of the Oshi Altar:
The altar will come with its own little remote control for you to adjust the LED lights on it. You can even personalize how bright the colors are or how often they flicker. So you can always make sure your oshi is in the most flattering spotlight when displaying your anime collection!
The Oshi Altar is available via the Hasegawa website. However, the company does not offer international shipping.
