The golden torii gate, the symbol of Fujiyoshida, is a vestige of faith in Mount Fuji.The torii gate spanning the road was once thought to be the entrance to the religious world of Mount Fuji.Even now that Mount Fuji has been registered as a World Heritage Site, this torii gate is loved by many people, including local residents, as a symbol of the culture of worship at Mount Fuji.Additionally, the view of Mt. Fuji framed between the torii gate and the sacred rope dedicated there is a precious sight that can only be seen here.
This golden torii gate was formerly called "Karado torii gate."Karado refers to bronze, a metal whose manufacturing method was brought over from the Tang Dynasty (China).It is said that later, "Karado Torii" became a corrupted name, Kin Torii.
It is also called "Ichino Torii" (First Torii) because it is the first gate on the Yoshida trail leading to the summit of Mount Fuji.Not only does it serve as a "gate" welcoming those who climb Mount Fuji for their religious rites, but it still stands tall on the path to Mount Fuji as a sacred "boundary" separating the secular world from the religious world of Mount Fuji.

Message from Teruhisa Kitahara

Children eventually become adults.
Toys are one of the things that help us remember our childhood memories and dreams forever.I think what initially attracted me to tin toys was a simple feeling of nostalgia.
Tin toys, which began to be made as far back as the Meiji and Taisho eras, evolved and took on various shapes as time went on, and despite being made by hand, an astonishing amount was produced, but they gradually disappeared from sight.
We would like many people to see through these toys the customs and colors of those times, which have been vividly revived through the passage of time, transcending the whirlwinds of war and the passage of time.
There is sure to be an emotion that cannot be expressed by nostalgia alone.
