Torii gates at Fushimi Shrine

伏見稲荷大社境内南東側の稲荷山参道に林立する朱塗の千本鳥居を望む｡参道は同社境内東側の上御殿から南東に延び､稲荷山入口の命婦社に続く｡参道には稲荷山を参詣する人々で賑わう｡左下の跪く男性は物乞であろうか｡写真は鳥居に記された年号から判断して､明治26年(1893)2月以降に撮影されている｡1904年イギリス人写真家H･G･ポンティングの撮影か｡The red Senbon Torii (one thousand gates) along the eastern approach to Fushimi Inari Taisha are viewed looking southeast. The approach starts at Kamigoden Hall on the east side of the shrine precincts and stretches in a southeasterly direction to the foot of Mt. Inari, Myobusha. There are many visitors. The man on the lower left may be a beggar. The marks on the torii gate indicate that this photograph was taken after February 1889, probably by British photographer H. G. Ponting
