EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the sacred grounds of the Imperial Shrine of Yasukuni, a revered Shinto shrine nestled in the heart of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. This photograph, captured in the 1910s, showcases the entrance to this historic site, marked by the grand torii gate. The gate, known as Kudanshita or Kudan, is adorned with intricate carvings and the syago and hyo pillars, symbolizing the passage from the secular world to the sacred one. The Imperial Shrine of Yasukuni is dedicated to the deified spirits of those who have served and died for Japan, including soldiers, civilians, and imperial family members. The shrine's serene and solemn atmosphere draws millions of visitors every year, especially during the annual autumn festival. As you approach the entrance, the processional path leads you through a tranquil forest, preparing you for the spiritual experience that awaits within the shrine's walls. The Imperial Shrine of Yasukuni is not only a significant historical site but also a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted spiritual traditions.
