Miyajima Inland Sea at Aki

from New York Public Library

• toranosuke said:

  Miyajima, just off the coast of Hiroshima City, is a sacred island unconnected to the mainland of Honshû by bridges. The massive four-legged torii gate of the Itsukushima Shrine is among the most famous in the country, and is one of the Three Views of Japan (日本三景, Nihon sankei). The "Aki" referred to in the title of this image is Aki Province, which constituted the western half of what it is now Hiroshima Prefecture, and which remains in use as a romantic or poetic name for the area.
