游侠半仙The Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, Japan, enshrines Ichikishimahime, Tashinhime, and Tatsukihime, who are revered as the Three Munakata Goddesses. The Three Munakata Goddesses are worshipped as the guardians of the sea, safe sailing, good luck, and the fulfillment of wishes. The shrine is famous for its unique architectural beauty and superb palace-style architectural skills. It was first built in 593 and later rebuilt in 1168 by the powerful Taira no Kiyomori of the time, and has been preserved to this day. The unique configuration that stands out in the sea and the contrast with the beautiful mountains behind it reflect the ambition and power of Kiyomori. With the "main shrine" (main hall) as the center, several shrines are arranged around it, and there are also Noh theater stages, music halls, halls, etc. in between. The buildings are connected by a 300-meter-long corridor, forming a seamless whole. The bright red color of the shrine and the large torii gate is said to ward off evil spirits. The entire building is also painted with vermilion lacquer for corrosion prevention.
