a happy new year


i went to the shrine near my house in hometown .
this picture is the gate entering to the shrine.
the name is "torii” 鳥居 in japanese.

the origin of torii isn't sure , but it owns the border between human and God . here is human area and over is God are... so to speak Heaven ?
there are some houses in the heaven though hahaha.

the color is red, and big. sometimes people used to draw a "torii" on the wall around house. why?
hahaha for forbid doing stand pee . yes, being spoken that japanese people is polite ,
when they drink and aren't seen to others, they become very rude and not polite.
so it's reason drawing the torii. it will bring them the sin if pee, cutting dicks .
hahaha.
