From collection Atago

This seems to be an old Shinto shrine (I can also infer this because the image came up upon searching Shinto), but there is a metal sound device placed on top of it, likely to transmit sound signals to other nearby devices While Japan’s treatment of Buddhism was mainly from a ideological standpoint rather than a religious one when compared to its country of origination of China, Shinto was a set of traditional folk beliefs until Meiji Japan saw the establishment of State Shinto. Since State Shinto was treated as a non-religious moral tradition and symbol of patriotism, I wonder if followers of Shinto would see the placement of a bell and/or its use as part of a radio network as disrespectful given that the State likely wanted to expand the nation’s radio network (Zhong).
