文化之窗
One of the important symbols of Japanese culture.
If you’ve ever looked at photos of Japanese scenery , you’ve probably seen a torii. Torii are the large, and often red, gates that stand tall outside Shinto shrines. In Japanese culture, they represent a gate that separates Earth from the spirit world. So, when anyone walks through a torii, it means they are entering a sacred place.
To this day, the origin of torii gates remains unknown.Some experts think the first torii were based on similar structures built in India, China, Thailand, or Korea. Others believe that the history of torii dates back to ancient times. In Japanese mythology, the sun goddess, Amaterasu, hid inside a cave and refused to come out. So, other gods built a giant perch for roosters, hoping it would catch her attention. According to legend, this is how the first torii gate was built.
