inari torii@ˆξ‰Χ’Ή‹
KEY WORD :@architecture / shrines
@
A type of gate-like structure *torii ’Ή‹ at inari ˆξ‰Χ shrines, which is characterized by a pillar that has a rounded, bowl-shaped base. Sometimes called daiwa torii ‘δ—Φ’Ή‹ because a circular plate *daiwa ‘δ—Φ, is placed on top of each pillar to prevent the seepage of rainwater into the crosscut of the pillar. The end of the top lintel *kasagi Š}–Ψ, is thicker than the center and has a strong upward curve. The ends of both the top and secondary lintel *shimaki “‡–Ψ, are cut with a downward slant. The tie beam *nuki ŠΡ, is straight, rectangular in section, and secured by wedges *kusabi žΆ, inserted into each side of the pillars. Its ends are straight-cut. A center strut, gakuzuka Šz‘©, is placed between the shimagi and nuki. Except for the daiwa, this torii closely resembles a *myoujin torii –Ύ_’Ή‹. When constructed of wood, it is usually painted vermillion. The proportions of the inari torii are the same as those of the main part of the *ryoubu torii —Ό•”’Ή‹ and the pillars have the same inward incline *uchikorobi “ΰ“]. Examples: Fushimi Inari Jinja •šŒ©ˆξ‰Χ_ŽΠ, Kyoto; Oogaki Hachimanguu ‘εŠ_”ͺ”¦‹{, Gifu prefecture.
