Some Buddhist sects place <i><a href="/wiki/Ihai" class="mw-redirect" title="Ihai">ihai</a></i> memorial tablets, <i>kakochō</i> death registers for deceased relatives, or urns containing the cremated remains of relatives, either within or near the <i>butsudan</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The defined space which occupies the Butsudan is referred to as <i>Butsuma</i>. If there are doors used, a Butsudan enshrines the <i>Gohonzon</i> icon during religious observances, and close after usage. In case of no doors, either a sheet of brocade or white cloth is sometimes placed over to render its sacred space. Traditional Japanese beliefs hold the Butsudan to be a house of the <a href="/wiki/Buddha" class="mw-redirect" title="Buddha">Buddha</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bodhisattva" title="Bodhisattva">Bodhisattva</a>, as well as of deceased relatives enshrined within it.

A <i>butsudan</i> usually houses a <i><a href="/wiki/Honzon" title="Honzon">honzon</a></i>, a statue or painting of the Buddha or a Buddhist deity that reflects the school which the family follows, though embroidered scrolls containing a <a href="/wiki/Mantra" title="Mantra">mantric</a> or <a href="/wiki/S%C5%ABtra" class="mw-redirect" title="Sūtra">sutric</a> text are also common. Other auxiliary items often found near the <i>butsudan</i> include tea, water and food (usually fruits or rice), an incense burner, candles, flowers, hanging lamps and evergreens.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A <i><a href="/wiki/Standing_bell" title="Standing bell">rin</a></i> often accompanies the <i>butsudan</i>, which can be rung during liturgy or recitation of prayers. Members of some Buddhist sects place <i><a href="/wiki/Ihai" class="mw-redirect" title="Ihai">ihai</a></i> or tablets engraved with the names of deceased family members within or next to the <i>butsudan</i>.
