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.

New Maiko in Gifu! On 3rd December 2023, Kikyo 喜きょう debuted from Hosengiren. From now until 31rd December, there are five Maiko in Gifu prefecture, the highest number since 2016 (two in Gifu at Hôsengiren, two in Gifu with the Geigi Union, one in Gero Onsen).
Her Hikizuri is patterned with pine trees (matsu 松), bamboo leaves (take 竹), tortoise shell pattern (hanairi kikkô 花入亀甲) and abstract clouds (kumodori 雲取). Smaller motifs you can see are Chrysanthemum blossoms (kiku 菊), Orange fruits (tachibana 橘), Plum blossoms (ume 梅), and few others I couldn't identify.
