At the Otawara, Tochigi-ken Shinto shrine, this torii gate was destroyed by the March earthquake.
Daibutsu, Kamakura
Daibutsu in Kamakura, June 2010. There were thousands of school kids visiting that day. It was still great fun.

For me, the Torii is the symbol that I associate most with Japan.
ReplyDeleteI also admire their architectural design.
Yes, I love torii also. I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed yet.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the Ishidorii in Nokko.
Sad to see and surprised that it hasn't already been repaired being Japan.

Was/is this a nice shrine?
ReplyDeleteI hope it get fixed soon.
ReplyDelete@Japan Australia, yes, I was surprised also.
ReplyDelete@sixmats, it is a small simple shrine for the city.
@Lina, me too.
It's likely because they will have to construct a new one. It took the Tsubaki Grand Shrine in Washington close to a year to produce a new Torii so it will likely take as long for this shrine.
ReplyDeleteOk, that does make sense. Thanks.
