Japan. Sacred Miyajima | 24"x24" | Framed
Oil on Canvas
This painting is capturing one of the sights we have seen and experienced, while traveling around Japan.
Miyajima (宮島) is a small island outside the city of Hiroshima. It is most famous for its giant torii gate, which at high tide seems to float on the water. The sight is ranked as one of Japan's three best views. The great Torii is the boundary between the spirit and the human worlds.
The first Otorii of Itsukushima Shrine was constructed in 1168 and was built about 200 meters offshore. The vermilion color of the shrine and of the O-torii is considered to keep evil spirits away.
