Summary
[edit]DescriptionItsukushima Shrine Torii seen from the east corridor at low tide - spring 2019.jpg |
English: All you see in the foreground right up to that faraway torii gate gets partially submerged at high tide.
An interesting view from inside the Itsukushima shrine off the coast of Hiroshima in Japan, looking out to sea past the celebrated torii gate we spoke so much about earlier in this album. see previous pictures). All you see in the foreground right up to that faraway torii gate gets partially submerged at high tide hence giving the Itsukushima shrine the title of floating temple. The entire area between me and the gate apparently gets flooded at high tide. I could unfortunately not wait for high tide as I had an hour line ride ahead of me to Hiroshima Station and a Shinkansen train to catch.The most recognizable and celebrated feature of the Itsukushima shrine, is its that fifty-foot tall vermilion otorii gate or great gate you see at the distance. The gate is built of decay-resistant camphor woo- it is presently said to be covered in transparent scaffolding as it undergoes repair and restoration in time for the forthcoming 2020 Olympicsl The placement of an additional leg in front of and behind each main pillar identifies the torii as reflecting the style of Ryōbu Shintō (dual Shinto), a medieval school of esoteric Japanese Buddhism associated with the Shingon Sect. The torii appears to be floating only at high tide. When the tide is low, it is only approachable by foot from the island. Gathering shellfish near the gate is also popular at low tide. At night, powerful lights on the shore illuminate the torii .Although the gate has been in place since 1168, the current gate dates back only to 1875 when it replaced an earlier one which was damaged.
