- This is a carved bronze plate showing the caretaker and the Torii. It was probably not used in religious practice, but rather sold as a souvenir. On the left, a caretaker with a broom looks up at the sky. On the right, a pigeon is pecking at the cobblestones of the path leading under the torii. The panel behind the torii is stamped with floral patterns: chrysanthemum and wisteria. A stone lantern is to the right of the torii. The plaque on the torii crossbar is inscribed myôjin 明神 (divinity).
