FUSHIMI INARI SHRINE
This woodblock print of the Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto, Japan was made by the artist Hasegawa Sadanobu about 1870-1871. The shrine sits at the base of Mt, Inari and is dedicated to the Shinto god of rice. Every year, thousands of pilgrims flock to this shrine and climb the mountain trails. This large red gate that you see is called a torii (toh-ree) and marks the entrance into sacred space.
