Welcome to the land of the gods. Torii

Fri, 11 May 2018 17:00:00 +0900

Standing serenely in front of a Shinto shrine is a torii (shrine archway), the gate that proclaims the beginning of the gods’ realm. The unique structure of a torii has a divine quality to it that prompts our body to instinctively stand a little straighter. A torii is many things at once--it is the boundary line between their world and ours, it is the gate that leads us to the extraordinary, and it is a symbol of Japan’s century-old cultures… A torii beckons you toward a world that is nothing like your definition of 'ordinary'.

This time we’re featuring illustrations of torii. Enjoy!

Let me prostrate to you! Statues of Buddha

Thu, 04 Jan 2018 17:00:00 +0900

There are many kinds of Buddhist images and statues of Buddha. From "Bodhisattva", who is said to bring relief and various benefits, to those representing "Tathagata" such as Buddha or Amitabha, or "Tengoku" who is said to have roots in ancient India. Their appearance is so various! Among those, the statue of Asura (which looks like a beautiful boy) is said to have been particularly popular among women and became one of the triggers of the "Buddha statue boom" that has occurred recently.

This time, we feature illustrations with Buddhist images as a motif. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is "the most precious feature" in the history of pixivision! Take a look at these masterpieces and let them heal you!
