1) butsudan [home altar]
Traditional Japanese house have a small Buddhist altar
that looks like a wall pit where are some memorial tablets
of deceased ancesters. People pray and offer candles and incense sticks to the altar.
2) chouchin ankou [lantern anglerfish] has an organ that looks like a lantern and glows to attract small fishes. Ankou is quite good for "nabe" [pot-boiled dish].
3) "ramune ari[/]"
in which "[/]" reads "masu" because it's a symbol of masu
[a small measuring box]. So, the whole sentence reads "ramune arimasu" [ramune available].
