Definitions

  1. A traditional Japanese gate at Shinto shrines, symbolically marking the transition from the profane to the sacred.

Word origin

From Japanese 鳥居 (torii, literally “bird abode”).

Used in a sentence

  • The torii marks the entrance to the sacred grounds of a shrine. There are a variety of types of torii, each with a unique history. Regardless of origin, the torii is inseparably identified with the image of Shinto.
  • So as long as the surface gravity is big enough (by having a small r) this will overcome the centrifugal acceleration and stuff will indeed stay down. But things are much harder to guess for small radius torii.
