Description
Hakozaki Hachimangu in Fukuoka is one of Japan's three great Hachimangu shrines, its portal torii standing at the edge of Hakata Bay — the site where Kublai Khan's Mongol fleets were repelled twice in the thirteenth century. Koitsu renders the shrine's approach with the dignified ceremony appropriate to a place of such historical significance, the torii framing a vista toward the bay. The bokashi sky treatment gives the scene the contemplative depth Koitsu brought to all his sacred architecture.
