Muza-chan's Gate to Japan, a new skin

Jul 5, 2010 | 22 feedbacks »

As you probably already noticed, starting today, my site has a new skin/theme.

Like the previous one, the banner features a Japanese torii. From the many options available, I selected a vermilion torii, in the Myōjin style. This is the style I like the most and at it is also the most popular type of torii.

I took the photo some time ago, at a small shrine from the Washinomiya complex in Saitama, having in mind this banner. :)

Washinomiya Shrine, Washimiya, Saitama

And in case you’re wondering, the missing piece on the right of the torii is not a Photoshop mistake, that’s how the torii actually looks like… :D

I hope you’ll like it!

Thank you, I'm very glad that you like it! :)

@dr george pradhan:
I like very much the vermilion color... Regarding the missing part, no I don't think it's inauspicious :)

yes yes we liked the new skin. vermilion =saffron=is the ascetic color of hindu/buddhist faiths.///the top beam cld have been painted////right block was missing intentionally, why so? isnt that inauspicious///// the bases of the pillars may be cleaned for the final picture./// the ground may be lawn-green.///

@Muzachan I love it. That too is one of my favorite style of torii. But I also love the stone and bronze torii of Nikko.
