Drawings of Waterfront Torii Gates - Simply Ethereal

Torii are traditional Japanese gates that are found at the entrance of Shinto shrines to mark the transition to sacred ground, although they can also be within the shrine itself. They can be plain wood or painted vermillion, and there are actually quite a few different designs.

When placed at the water’s edge, or completely within a body of water, there’s an ethereal quality to the sight that fascinates many, including pixiv users.
