Japanese torii

Japanese torii

It is an iconic annex building of Japanese shrines, mainly used to distinguish the divine realm from the secular realm where humans reside, symbolizing the entrance to the divine realm. It usually consists of two pillars and two crossbeams, and sometimes hangs a plaque with inscriptions on it. It is usually made of wood and painted with raw paint. The color is usually vermilion, which is believed to have the power to dispel demons, like a monk's barrier. In Japan, people believe that torii can fulfill their wishes, so the custom of worshipping torii has been popular since the Edo period. Torii is not only a part of the shrine, but also an important symbol of Japanese culture.
