What is a "Mitsutorī"?

A Mitsutorī ("三ツ鳥居") is a style of torī, that is a torī with another two smaller torīs combined on both sides. Since it is seen at Ōmiwa shrine and Miwa shrines, dedicated to the divided deity of Ōmiwa shrine, it may also be called Miwatorī ("三輪鳥居").

Mitsutorī are often seen as a variant of Myōjin Torī, with the kasagi curved upwards. However, some Mitsutorī are like 3 Shinmei Torīs combined together. Some Myōjin Torī have chigo-bashiras, as in a Ryōbu Torī.
