Gate to Eternity: Okunoin Cemetery's Timeless Entrance
Okunoin Cemetery, Koyasan, Japan
Amidst the profound serenity of Koyasan's Okunoin Cemetery lies this poignant image. Here, an ageless stone gate, adorned with verdant moss and embraced by the forest, beckons visitors into a realm where time stands still. The gate's solemn doors invite contemplation of the eternal, embodying the spiritual essence of this hallowed place. In this image, the boundary between the earthly and the divine is beautifully blurred, echoing the transcendence of Okunoin Cemetery itself. Photo © copyright by Rich Voninski.
