The torii, Taiyuin Shrine, Nikko

日光東照宮境内入口の石鳥居と表参道を写したもの｡表参道を上り詰めるとこの広場に出る｡石鳥居は黒田筑前守長政が元和4(1618)年に奉納した｡高さは9メートルあり､江戸期に建てられた石造りの鳥居では日本最大｡鳥居の前に侍姿の人物が2名立ち､杉の間に空が見える｡This is a view of the stone torii gate and Omote-sando approach to Toshogu Shinto Shrine. The torii was donated by Kuroda Echizennokami Nagamasa in 1618. Nine meters high, it is the largest stone torii gate built during the Edo Period. Two men, apparently samurai, stand in front of the gate, and the sky is visible through the cedar trees
