Photos of Tosa shrine
This is the Ichinomiya (the shrine of the highest rank) in Kochi. The Miyajishi (shrine guardian lions) enshrined in the worship hall are made of Bizen ware; the figure on the left—the A-gyō (depicted with its mouth open)—was created in 1866, while the one on the right—the Un-gyō (with its mouth closed)—was made in 2011. It took over 140 years for the pair to be completed. They possess expressive faces that evoke a sense of familiarity. Behind the main hall lies a refreshing forest; after paying your respects, I encourage you to take a leisurely stroll through the woods and feel the sacred atmosphere.
