Brand new small size wooden Shinto religious collection box or saisenbako as they are called in Japanese. Boxes such as these are found at the entrance of nearly every Buddhist temple or Shinto shrine in Japan. Worshipers commonly approach the altar and throw a few coins into the saisenbako before offering a prayer. The same type of box is used in Japan for both temples and shrines, though worshipers at a shrine may ring a bell before depositing their coins and praying.
