Technology: The Workshops at the Grand Shrine of Ise
Ise lies in the east of the Kii peninsula on the island of Honshu. Here, some four kilometres apart, stand two of the main Shinto shrines of Japan - the Kotai-jingu, or Inner Shrine; and the Toyokedai-jingu, or Outer Shrine - as well as 125 ancillary shrines of various rank. Ise has been a place of pilgrimage from medieval times to the present day. The shrines themselves are fenced off and not accessible.
