Red Colors In Naritasan

This is a part two entry of Naritasan Shinshoji temple that features red colors I've seen there.

Inside the Great Main Hall
Goma (Sesame) fire ritual ceremony takes place twice a day and the ceremony has never ever been discontinued since the foundation of the temple. Over 1000 years!!! That's terrific! Fudo/Acala (不動明王) is worshipped there.

Niomon Gate
The 800 kg weighed big lantern (提灯) is hung in the Niomon gate (仁王門). It says "Uogashi (魚がし).

Three storied Pagoda
The 25 m tall three-storied pagoda (三重塔) was built in 1712.

Inari Shrine
Naritasan is very complex. Inari shrine (稲荷神社) is located in the temple.

  1. Yoshiさん こんにちは! お盆帰省中ですか?
    Yoshiさんの撮られる 神社仏閣を見ると、いつも心がゾワゾワします。
    例えて言えば、ギターやベースのチューニングを下げた通常より低い音で
    ド派手に始まる、ヘヴィメタルの曲のようです。
    テクニカルな撮影、機材の進化を駆使された効果ですね!d(-_☆)

    休暇明け、今年の後半戦も お互いにがんばりましょう!
    どうぞよろしくお願いします。
