The Sacred Bridge

The Sacred Bridge, leading to the Inari shrine.

 

The Kitsune (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune) is drinking by the river.

 

And many animals are observing the traveling monk, while he walks on the sacred bridge leading to the shrine.

 

The blue birds are supposed to be Red-flanked bluetails, and the other bird is a Japanese Crane (Red-crowned Crane).

Inspiration for this build, is the various red Japanese bridges leading to a shrine or other sacred place, this one was based on the Shinkyo Bridge leading to the Futarasan Shrine in Nikko, which I visited in 2020.

 

The Sika deer is inspired by: -LittleJohn
