Sake casks
Casks of sacred sake donated to a Shinto shrine in Uji, near Kyoto. Sake, a Japanese rice wine, is actually brewed, using just rice, water and a yeast called koji. It is considered sacred to Shinto (the Japanese animist religion), which celebrates crop cycles and fertility, because it is derived from rice.
