A pilgrimage to the other side of the water. Drawings of Torii by the Waterside

Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima is a world heritage known for the red torii (shrine archway) that stands over the sea. When we see a red torii, namely the entrance to the world of the deities, standing over the sea, the sight is so austere and sacred that we feel like we’re about to step into a magical world. Let your imagination run wild, picturing the world that exists beyond that torii.

This time we’re featuring illustrations of torii that stand by the waterside. Enjoy!
