Japanese Shrines....

...can be found, seemingly everywhere,
they have a purpose, to those that show they care,
some are very small, a kind you'd have at home,
while others, quite large, are a tribute to the throne.

Some of them have 'gates', or torii to be correct,
built in a certain way, they serve to connect...
..the present and the past, in a variety of ways,
put the purpose, always present, never, never strays.





A Shrine in Tatton Park.
Yasukuni Shrine, in Tokyo.
