View of the sacred bridge and the one of ordinary people along it, which the artist took the first view of, with a particular optic
Nikkō Futarasan Shrine, is a Shintō shrine in Japan, located in
Nikkō, Tochigi Prefecture, on the island of Honshū.. Founded in 767 by the Buddhist monk Shō.dō Shōnin, a mountain ascetic and propagator of the Buddha's teaching. The sacred perimeter of the Futarasan Shrine includes a historic symbol of Nikkō: the Shinkyō, a lacquered wooden bridge spanning the
Daiya River.
During the Edo period, its crossing was reserved for the shogun and imperial court messengers. In 1902, a flood of the Daiya river caused a flood which destroyed the Shinkyō. The bridge was rebuilt in 1904.
