| A type of gate-like structure *torii 鳥居 at inari 稲荷 shrines, which is characterized by a pillar that has a rounded, bowl-shaped base. Sometimes called daiwa torii 台輪鳥居 because a circular plate *daiwa 台輪, 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 笠木, is thicker than the center and has a strong upward curve. The ends of both the top and secondary lintel *shimaki 島木, are cut with a downward slant. The tie beam *nuki 貫, is straight, rectangular in section, and secured by wedges *kusabi 楔, inserted into each side of the pillars. Its ends are straight-cut. A center strut, gakuzuka 額束, is placed between the shimaki and nuki. Except for the daiwa, this torii closely resembles a *myoujin torii 明神鳥居. 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 両部鳥居 and the pillars have the same inward incline *uchikorobi 内転. Examples: Fushimi Inari Jinja 伏見稲荷神社, Kyoto; Oogaki Hachimanguu 大垣八幡宮, Gifu prefecture. | ||||||
