Welcome to HIROSHIMA BAY !
HIROSHIMA BAY was my dream right from my SCHOOL DAYS and I dont mind visiting this place again and again. Some dreams never expire.
Photos clicked by me between 2012 and 2015 during my stay in JAPAN !
It is believed that it is this gate that allows human beings to enter into SPIRITUAL WORLD.
The Floating Torii gate is the place of UNION for many LOVERS.
UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE !
The floating TORII !
Today's topic is SHIZEN !
自然 = Shizen
Shizen = Naturalness without PRETENSE !
Shizen = Naturalness without PRETENSE !
Shizen is the 4th principle of Wabi-Sabi !
Shizen = Naturalness = TORII.
NATURALNESS = "NOTHING IS PERFECT" or rather everything is in "COSMIC ORDER".
The Torii of Itsukushima Shrine REPRESENTS SHIZEN !
At the base of Mount Misen is Miyajima / Itsukushima shrine.

SHIZEN = NATURAL = TEMPLE NATRUALLY FLOATS ON WATER !
自然 Is appreciating FLOATING ON WATER !
The temple embraces ELEMENTS OF WATER rather than a CRYSTAL CLEAR LAND.
CRYSTAL CLEAR LAND IS A MATERIALISTIC IDEAL OF PERFECTION.
ELEMENTS OF WATER = IMPERFECTION.
自然 Is appreciating EMPTINESS !
During winter the temple floats on water, only during SUMMER and CHERRY BLOSSOM one can notice LAND. Floating above the water which is a part of Hiroshima Bay, is the RED WOODEN HALL which is a part of Itsukushima temple.
The Itsukushima temple along with Torii is known for the best temple architecture in Japan.
UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE !
Everything that is found in nature is also found in Human Character and Skills ! This suggests that VIRTUES and CIVILITY can be instilled through the APPRECIATION OF IMPERFECTION !
自然 represents NATURALNESS OF BEHAVIOR IN HUMAN CHARACTER !
