Torii, Suwa Shrine

明治中期(1887)頃の手彩色の写真｡参道の大鳥居を過ぎた､二の鳥居の前から､諏訪神社方面を見た写真｡右側にドンコ茶屋の建物が見える｡神社の中腹に､洋風建築が建てられているのは､明治中期の洋風化の情勢が伝わる写真｡This hand-tinted photograph taken around 1887 depicts the view of Suwa Shinto Shrine from the Ninotorii (second torii gate) inside the Great Torii Gate. The Donko Teahouse is visible on the right. The Western-style building on the approach is indicative of the tide of modernization in the mid-Meiji Period
