Mihashira Torii
are a type of ''torii'' gate found in Shinto architecture. Like its name implies, it is a triangular structure that appears to be formed from three individual ''torii''. It is thought by some to have been built by early Japanese Christians to represent the Holy Trinity.〔"(mihashira torii 三柱鳥居 )." JAANUS. Retrieved on May 31, 2009.〕
==History==
While the origins of the ''mihashira torii'' cannot be directly proven, it is sometimes thought to be linked to early Christianity in Japan.
The primary historical example of a ''mihashira torii'' is found in the records of Konoshima Shrine in Kyoto. These records states that a triangular ''torii'' was rebuilt in 1716-1736, after a fire. The text hints at a reference to Nestorianism in the construction of the ''torii'', and says that the three pillars represent the heavens, the earth, and mankind. This is not an interpretation common in Shinto beliefs. The shrine record also holds that the ''torii'' symbolizes faith, hope, and charity. The Konoshima ''torii'' stands in a pond with a pile of stones in the middle of the structure, supposedly the seat of a God.〔
A private garden in Kyoto also exhibits a ''mihashira torii'', built in a stream. The Christian owners of the estate claim to be descended from a family of Christians who practiced their religion in secret during a time when Christianity was strictly regulated in Japan. According to them, this type of ''torii'' was used as a symbol for underground Christians, and that it represented the Holy Trinity.〔
