I recently received a beautiful postcard featuring the Big Torii Entrance with Minami Shinmon in the background, issued by the Meiji Jingu Shrine Office. The postcard describes the experience of walking on the gravel approach and passing through the sacred arch-way to reach the South Gate. It mentions that visitors can admire the new building of the Main Shrine, which was reconstructed in 1958.The postcard captures the serene and spiritual atmosphere of Meiji Jingu, one of Tokyo’s most famous Shinto shrines. The image of the Big Torii Entrance and Minami Shinmon in the background is truly captivating, inviting the viewer to imagine themselves walking along the sacred path towards the Main Shrine. The description on the postcard adds depth to the visual experience, providing historical context and insight into the significance of the shrine’s architecture.As I hold this postcard in my hands, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for the beauty and history of Meiji Jingu. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and traditions, and the power of sacred spaces to inspire and uplift us. I am grateful for the opportunity to have a glimpse of this spiritual sanctuary through the lens of this postcard, and it has sparked a desire to visit Meiji Jingu in person to fully immerse myself in its magic and tranquility.
