Thanks brother, from Fushimi Inari Taisha Sembon Torii (Thousand Torii Gates)
千本鳥居
I am now walking through the gates with a better feeling for them.
I love Fushimi Inari! I was there about 2 months ago (again). I only go there now at about 7 am. Hardly no one is there other than the cleaning crew, sweeping the steps. And you can get some amazing photos. But by 9 am/10 am, it's packed.
Very interesting! Thanks!
Thank you for the video! I'd always been curious about the torii gates
MY pleasure! Thank YOU for commenting!
Visiting in November I've never been so excited. Any tips for November musts in the golden triangle or Hiroshima/miyajima day visit
First off - I'm excited for you! I''ll be there in November as well! I'm bringing three tour groups through Japan from October 15th - December 1st. I'll be in Japan for about 46 days straight. I have SO many recommendations for you. It really depends on what you enjoy doiing - food, photography, history, fitness, relaxation, books, shopping, etc. I can help you here (chatting here) or you can email me at carldrosa@yahoo.com. Whichever you like. And if you're going to Hiroshima/Miyajima - yes. LOTS of recommendations!
cool :)
You still didn't give any actual meaning or reason for the gates elements other than some basic explinational of the whole shinto religion.
3:34: "And usually, at the front of these shrines, a torii gate...like these...mark the entrance to Shinto Shrines and recognizable symbols of the religion." Is there a clarification you'd want past that? For example, are you referring to why that shape is chosen? Thanks for the comment, by the way. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
@carlrosa1130 yes... why the shape? and why the elements of the construction, such as the two horizontal beams and the curve upward and such?
@@ShaneHerrick Good question and thanks fo r the reply. The problem with answering it is because not all torii gates have the same shape. They use the same 'style' of two posts with a top bar..but some don't have the arched top - just straight. Others use highly ornate torii gates and some are downright dull and 'boring.' Some have angeled legs and some are straight/vertical. Check out these torii gates:

The 'design' of the toriis seem to be very open to artistic flair.
I'd like your opinion as well.
@@ShaneHerrickBecause it looks cool. And because it looks cool.
