Keimigawa Shrine
Yorishiro: Vessel of the Divine
This 1,200-year-old shrine embodies the essence of yorishiro - a sacred vessel where gods have manifested in our earthly realm. The shrine's roof, veiled by trees, and the metal handrail along its stone steps blend subtle modernity with ancient mystique.
