miniature-shrine maker
A craftsperson who makes miniature Shinto shrines (often for home altars or portable shrines). Domain-specific Shinto term.
My grandfather worked as a miniature-shrine maker, crafting small shrine models.
Compound of 宮 (miya, 'shrine') and 師 (shi, 'master' or 'specialist'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term straightforwardly denotes a specialist in shrine-related craftsmanship.
