Torii

(PICTURE: A torii gate in Fukushima.)

All over Japan you will see torii gates. The gates are usually an entrance way to a Shinto shrine. Symbolically the gates are a border between the normal world and the sacred world. Basically this means one should let out all their sbds* before they walk through the gate.




* Mom, to save you the email an sbd is an acronym for "Silent But Deadly" farts.

Thanks for being so considerate - I should know that abbreviation.
