A wooden, gate-like entrance *torii 鳥居 of the myōjin 明神 type at Usa Jingū 宇佐神宮 in Ōita Prefecture. It is unique because the curves at the ends of the top lintel *kasagi 笠木 and secondary lintel *shimaki 島木 are exaggerated. The top of the kasagi is covered with a cypress bark roof. Both the kasagi and the circular plates *daiwa 台輪 are painted black while the remaining members are vermillion. The strong abrupt upward curve of the tie beam *nuki 貫 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 根巻. Therefore, it is sometimes called a nemaki torii 根巻鳥居. The bases have no incline.
