Yasukuni Shrine
The thick pillar of the torii runs straight down the tall, narrow picture, splitting it in two. People come and go in the grounds of Yasukuni Shrine, some in Western clothes with red trousers, others in blue robes.
About this print
A large, deep-green torii gate crosses the upper part of the picture. Low buildings and pink blossoms can be seen at the back, and below, people dressed in red and blue come and go. On the right rises a tall platform built up in several tiers.
The red label at the upper right is printed with the title, Yasukuni Jinja, and its reading in kana, while the white band on the torii bears the words "YASUKUNI JINJA" in Roman letters. The shrine was first built at Kudan under the name Tokyo Shokonsha, and in 1879 it was renamed Yasukuni Shrine.
