Scenery with the torii

[castermaild55]

We can see the torii anywhere in Japan in every five minutes.
There is especially no deep emotion for such reasons.
Cherry blossoms are certainly beautiful.
However, I think the torii of this strange shape that is anywhere to be a
symbol of Japan.
And, it matches it to the scenery of Japan very much.

sorry

Nice , reminds me of putting crosses on top of hills. The aesthetic appeal is very similar. Also remind me of churches and shrines in a way. Who maintains them? Are they historic objects? I will check wikipedia about them

[castermaild55]

Who maintains them?
