What is a "torii"?
A torii is a traditional Japanese gate that marks the entrance to a sacred space, such as a Shinto shrine. It typically consists of two upright pillars and a horizontal beam on top, creating a simple yet elegant structure. Torii gates are often made of wood or stone and are painted in bright colors, especially red, which symbolizes protection and good fortune. They serve as a symbol of the transition from the mundane to the sacred, inviting visitors to enter a place of worship and reflection. The design of the torii reflects Japan's deep cultural and spiritual connections to nature and the divine.
