Chasing Light and Shadows at Makiba Park・「牧場と夏の空：北杜の牧場風景」

Expansive pastures, dotted with peacefully grazing cattle, unfold against a backdrop of lush mountain ranges, creating a tranquil, panoramic landscape that invited me to pause and savor the beauty of the highlands.

I was drawn to capturing the dramatic summer skies, where afternoon light broke through cumulus clouds, casting alternating patches of light and shadow over the lush pastures and verdant mountain ranges beyond.

The large torii gate warmly welcomes visitors to the cedar-tree lined approach to the Kawaguchi Asama Shrine. Many of these trees are 800 years old and have stood tall since the Kamakura Period (1185–1333).

Historical records indicate the original torii gate was built to a height of approximately 13 m (42.65 ft) in 1688, and rebuilt in 1697 to a height of 16.4 m (53.80 ft).

The current torii gate was built of concrete in 1965 and stands approximately 18 m (59.05 ft) high. One of the cornerstones of the original gate remains at the right foot of the current gate.

Discover more about the fascinating history and symbolism of the torii gate at Kawaguchi Asama Shrine. Delve into the meaning behind the inscription on the gate, explore the intricate design elements of this shrine and similar types, and provide a glossary of key Japanese words used in torii gate construction.
