Proximity to the capital no doubt influenced this selection. Idzumo, Kashima, Katori, Usa, Suha, and other important shrines are omitted. All the principal deities, however, are included in this list. At the present day there are 193,476 Shinto shrines in Japan. Of these the great majority are very small and have no priests or revenues. Capt. Brinkley, in his 'Japan and China,' gives the following list of the ten most popular shrines in Japan at the present day: "Ise, Idzumo, Hachiman (Kyōto), Temmangū (Hakata), Inari (Kyōto), Kasuga (Nara), Atago (Kyōto), Kompira (Sanuki), Suitengū (Tōkyō), and Suwa (Shinano)." Very many houses have their _kamidana_ or domestic shrine, where the ujigami, the ancestor, and the trade-God, with any others whom there is some special reason for honouring, are worshipped. _Tori-wi_.--The approach to a Shinto shrine is marked by one or more gateways or arches of the special form shown in the illustration (p. 233) and known as _tori-wi_. This word means literally "bird-perch," in the sense of a henroost. By analogy it was applied to anything of the same shape, as a clothes-horse, or the lintel of a door or gateway. As an honorary gateway, the _tori-wi_ is a continental institution identical in purpose and resembling in form the _turan_ of India, the _pailoo_ of China, and the _hong-sal-mun_ of Korea. When introduced into Japan at some unknown date (the _Kojiki_ and _Nihongi_ do not mention them) the Japanese called them _tori-wi_, which then meant simply gateway, but subsequently acquired its present more specific application. It sometimes serves the purpose of marking the direction of a distant object of worship.[189] _Hyaku-do ishi_.--Near the front of the shrine may sometimes be seen a _hyaku-do ishi_, or hundred-time-stone, from which the worshipper may go back and forward to the door of the shrine a hundred times, repeating a prayer each time. A _sori-bashi_ or _taiko-bashi_, representing the mythical floating bridge of Heaven (the rainbow), is also to be seen at the approach to some shrines.
