In the Shinto religion in Japan, the gateway of temples, called torii, are traditionally painted vermilion red and black, and symbolize the passage between the profane world and a sacred place..." (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
This post is meant to be "for your eyes only" (!!) as Sheena Easton would sing in a famous James Bond movie, that is to say that I did not add any comments to describe them!! Lazy....?...!
