The Great Torii, Suwa Shrine

明治後期から大正期(1890-1920)の手彩色の絵葉書｡『長崎諏訪神社大鳥居』と題されている｡鳥居は天保2年(1831)に青銅で造られ､額に｢鎮西大社｣と記されている｡明治7年暴風雨で倒壊したが､明治25(1892)年三菱造船所で鋳造して再建された｡This hand-tinted picture postcard published between 1890 and 1920 depicts the great torii gate of Suwa Shinto Shrine, Nagasaki. The bronze gate was first built in 1831. The tablet above it reads "Chinzei Taisha." Destroyed by a storm in 1874, a new gate was cast at the Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard and erected here in 1892
