Abandoned Torii Gate found in a submerged tunnel in Kani City, Gifu, Japan (2022) Photog. Saho
Found at the entrance of shrines, a torii is a gate that separates the realm of our world and that of the divine and spiritual. An important symbol for Shintoism, it’s also one of Japan’s most defining characteristics. Around 90,000 of them are found across Japan and traces of the existence of toriis date back to over a thousand years ago, and sacred places are most commonly found amidst nature, sometimes in areas inaccessible to the public. Some shrines lose popularity due to their remote locations or unapproachable appearance.
