Kamidana
A shrine that can be set up in the home of a Japanese worshiper for a household Kami (or god) or their deceased ancestors. They are small, white or unpainted structures meant to resemble a holy Japanese artifact or site of worship. They are white to signify purity and are decorated with green sprigs of leaves or shoots to represent nature. Must be maintained and kept clean in order to apease the spirits. [Marcus]

Misc.
Kamidana are a contrast to Chinese altars painted red for good luck and fortune
