Description Fushimi Inari-taisha. New Years Day.

A tunnel of hundreds of red torii gates leading up a mountain to a shrine. Kyoto, Japan. I've seen a lot of shots of the line of gates, but not many close up shots. I wish I'd taken a few more, but there was so many people there that day.

Love them. I once was there. It's beautiful and mystical. Non stop torii gates.

ooh, I can relate, I just recently came from there, it was absolutely invigorating, that place have you seen the new torii, where the characters have yet to be painted in? thanks for the faves by the way!

New torii? Do they add them to the tunnel or create new paths?
It's 2 years since I went to Japan, but I plan to go again.

Really like your work, some of them look just like the traditional paintings from hundreds of years ago. Great brushwork.

Yes, new torii I don't think they create new paths, but replace the old ones, I think. There were some that I saw that were still unpainted Thanks! Still trying to develop my style, thanks for the encouragement!
