Sajuo

Sajuo (去聚; sajuo) are traditional Kayokan shrines dedicated to the spirits of the dead. They are often used to mark graves, though can also be found in temples and tombs.

The largest gathering of sajuo can be found in Akamakou Temple, with over three hundred having been assembled there over centuries. The temple was built as a communal tomb for the spirits of every Emperor - after death, each would have an individualised sajuo made for them in commemoration and respect. Each Emperor is also thought to represent one facet of humankind; this belief is shown on their sajuo through heavy symbolism.

Along with Emperors, other nobles have been memorialised. The Zuizau Temple (泽沙军) is home to over 500 different sajuo, each crafted for lesser royalty such as relatives, concubines or close friends of the Emperor.
