The picture to the right is called a "Tori" gate - this is what you will usually find as the entrance to larger "Shinto" Shrines.
"Shintoism
" Way of the Gods"
Is the original - native - religion of Japan!

Many people mistakenly refer to it as a Pagoda!

Click on the link at the end of this paragraph to take you to an excellent site to give you a good basic understanding of Shintoism and "THE WAY OF THE GODS"! From now on when you see a "Tori" gate it will have a lot more meaning!

For a little more in-depth history of Shintoism click here to take you to a Shinto History Site.

In the future I will be writing about Shintoism and its relationship to the martial arts and kenpo!
