Other Notes: |
Located in Nikko at the Toshogu Shrine, Toshi depicts the Shomen Karamon (the entrance gate of the Shrine proper) which leads to the hall of worship, the Haimen Karamon. Beyond this lies the tomb of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Lanterns donated by the three Tokugawa families and other lords stand in front of the fence (not visible here). The gate is in the Chinese style with profuse decoration. The Shrine was begun in 1617 with most buildings completed in 1636. A number of the buildings in the Shrine are designated National Treasures. | ||||
