The Ichi-no-Torii gate marks the formal entrance to Meiji Jingu Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Surrounded by a carefully cultivated forest, the shrine offers a quiet contrast to the surrounding city and remains one of Tokyo’s most significant cultural sites.
As a symbol of transition from the ordinary to the sacred, the torii gate represents core ideas within Shinto tradition and Japanese architectural design. This coaster set reflects those themes in a small, usable form, intended to be lived with rather than displayed away.
Ideal for those interested in Japanese culture, travel, and architecture, this set makes a thoughtful gift for housewarmings, or as a keepsake inspired by time spent in Japan.
