Sumiyoshi is one of the districts of Osaka. There is the Great Temple founded in the early 3rd century by the Empress Jingu. The area of the sanctuary is decorated with many small garden architecture objects, a complex of traditional buildings is surrounded by the vast prefectural park. The arched bridge with a red railing is one of the characteristic structures of the Great Sumiyoshi Temple. It was believed that crossing this original footbridge clears the sins and allows to approach the gods. The shape of the bridge was to resemble a rainbow, a symbol of the connection between the earthly and divine worlds.
