Neither There Nor Anywhere
The relentless, frantic crowds, overwhelming in every sense, evaporated with very little warning and the sudden quiet found at Fushimi-Inari Taisha in 2020 felt somehow important. Shinto routines and rituals never went away, but were suddenly clearly visible and walking the mountain became a calm and spiritual experience again for a short time, which this edition documents.
Vermillion-coloured torii gates help define an invisible perimeter around sacred space and when you pass through, you effectively step from one world into another. With so many thousands of gates so tightly packed at Fushimi-Inari Taisha, you walk for hours in that undefined space between worlds. Neither There Nor Anywhere.
