Kyoto on Film - Abandoned Temple in the mountains

•

お久しぶりです！It has been a long time since I have shared my pictures here!

On the Kyoto Trail, there is an abandoned temple, Oiwa Jinja, that is very special, at least to me, because not only the Torii are exceptionally beautiful and very particular, but also because the atmosphere there was very mysterious and sad. The gates, Torii, were made by the Kyoto Artist Domoto Insho as a present to the temple for curing his mother.

While searching about this temple, I found this blog in English that tries to explains why it has been abandoned: https://www.greenshinto.com/?s=Oiwa+j...

There is a museum of Domoto Insho in Kyoto: https://insho-domoto.com/en/
