Sanbo (三方, Sanbō) is a stand used in Shinto rituals to place shinsen. In ancient times, it was also used to present objects to a noble person. The same type of stand is also used in temples, but in this case it is sometimes written sampo, which stands for Three Treasures (Sangha, Dharma, Buddha).[1]
