Another thing I'd like to touch upon here is

that the first two sentences "It's something." and "I saw it this morning."

in the explanation of 'butsudan' can be combined into one:

"(It's) Something I saw this morning."

But for the time being,  English grammar aside, introductory (and basic) level

students should think that it is the one they get when they bring 'butsudan'

of the sentence "I saw ’butsudan’ this morning." to the front of it and change

it into 'something'.

If you ask why they should think so, we would answer as follows:

It's because

1) in English we are expected to start explaining anything with a comment on

the very thing in question, and

2) we cannot use the target word 'butsudan' in the explanation, and 'something'

is the most convenient word to change a target word into when explaining it.
