The
gate at the entrance or on
certain places in the area of
a shrine is called a torii. It represents the
division between
the everyday
world and the sacred world and is at the same time the symbol of a Shintô
shrine. There used to be four styles of constructions -
usually made out of wood. Today there are also torii made of stone, copper or even
concrete.
