The size is such that it can be inserted and closes the inner front surface of the cylindrical main body 21.

The photo sticking portion 4 is a lid-like member which can be attached to the rear opening of the cylindrical main body 21 and has the photo A stuck on its inner surface. The light part 5 is provided above and below the fixing part of the cylindrical main body 21 on the back surface of the frame part 1, and the light entrance hole 2 is provided.
Light 51 facing the 2 and light socket 5
2 and a reflection plate 53 for reflecting the light of the light 51 into the light entrance hole 22.

Then, the half mirror portion 3 is inserted into the groove 24.
Inserted from above and supported by the U-shaped guide portion 25, the photograph A is attached to the inner surface of the photograph attaching portion 4, the crown opening is attached to the rear opening portion of the cylindrical main body 21, and it is hung on the wall surface or the like to be installed indoors. In addition, the light 51 is switched on / off to perform a predetermined use. That is, when the light 51 is turned on, light is incident on the inside of the cylindrical main body 21 to illuminate the photo A, and the photo A can be visually recognized from the outside through the front half mirror portion 3 and the light 51 is turned on. Only the photo can be seen without being visible from the outside. Then, when the light 51 is turned off, the inside of the cylindrical main body 21 becomes dark, and the half mirror portion 3 appears as a normal mirror from the outside and can be used as a mirror.
