Itsukushima Shinto Shrine, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

from £10.00

The 'Floating Torii Gate,' part of the revered Itsukushima Shrine in Hatsukaichi, stands as one of Japan's most enchanting UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Rising gracefully from the sea, this sacred gate is accessible only at low tide—a fleeting moment when visitors can approach and marvel at its grandeur. In this piece, I sought to capture the gate’s majestic scale, revealing its timeless beauty and the humility it inspires in those who gather beneath its towering form.
