Fushimiinari Taisya Shrine

I always enjoy your shrine photos! I often imagine I am walking among these!

Can you tell me why there is much red, orange and green colors used, almost exclusively?

Thank you!

In Shinto, which enshrines Japanese gods, five colors are used as lucky charms and amulets
The five colors are "green, red, yellow, white, purple"
Green = East ・ Spring ・ Manners ・ Eyes ・ Seiryu
Red = Middle ・ Summer ・ Benevolence ・ Tongue ・ Suzaku
Yellow = Medium ・ Midsummer ・ Righteousness ・ Mouth ・ Kirin
White = West ・ Autumn ・ Wisdom ・ Nose ・ Byakko
Purple = North ・ Winter ・ Trust ・ Ear ・ Genbu
Each color has this meaning
It is thought that the Ying-Yang Five Elements theory, which was introduced with the introduction of Buddhism, also has an influence
Seiryu・Suzaku・Kirin・Byakko・Genbu
In them, it is said to be a spirit beast that is handed down to the Orient and protects each direction
You can feel the remnants of the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism as the main Japanese people until the law came into effect in the Meiji era
