*Excerpt from the GIRIDO product page:
Have you ever heard the creaking sound 'gigigi' when the doors of a shrine are opened? This sound signals to the worshipper, bowing their head, that they are facing the deity. The doors are fitted using a special technique called 'girido,' which only highly skilled craftsmen among shrine carpenters, the artisans of shrine architecture, can achieve. 'GIRIDO' is also particular about this special traditional technique and the 'sound.' We hope you will open the doors and experience the essence of a shrine carpenter's craftsmanship. *The doors only open on the tabletop model.
