A wooden, gate-like entrance *torii ’Ή‹, of the myoujin –Ύ_ type at Usa Jinguu ‰F²_‹{ in Ooita prefecture. It is unique because the curves at the ends of the top lintel *kasagi Š}–Ψ, and secondary lintel *shimaki “‡–Ψ, are exaggerated. The top of the kasagi is covered with a cypress bark roof. Both the kasagi and the circular plates *daiwa ‘δ—Φ, are painted black while the remaining members are vermillion. The strong abrupt upward curve of the tie beam *nuki ŠΡ, is unusual. The ends thicken and are cut with a slant. There is no strut or framed panel between the tie beam and shimagi. The pillars have a strong inward incline and the base of the two pillars, made of stone and painted white, simulate a wrap *nemaki ͺŠͺ. Therefore, it is sometimes called a nemaki torii ͺŠͺ’Ή‹. The bases have no incline.
