casually passing by shrines

I’m a writer and an editor. I love art, literature, music, and to drink good coffee. I practice Ashtanga yoga. I’m here to connect and learn. 

they’re shinto shrines, sacred places where people honor 神 kami (spirits). the torii gate (⛩️) symbolizes crossing from the ordinary world into the sacred realm. it marks the boundary and invites respect for the deity enshrined within

That’s very pretty. What do they represent? Are they kind of portals?

I love japanese shrines.
I've been there in 2017 and I remember how fascinating they were
