Japan Postcard: Chief Shinto Shrine Owari Masumida Jinja 1930 XT5626

This historic landscape photograph captures the serene compound of the Chief Shinto Shrine of the former Owari Province (Masumida Jinja). The detailed view features women in traditional kimonos walking past a grand wooden worship hall (haiden) distinguished by its massive, steeply pitched kayabuki thatched roof, set amongst ancient, sprawling pine trees.
