This staircase is followed at the sides by traditional stone lanterns called Tōrō (灯籠 literally light basket, light tower), and leads to the entrance of a temple upstage. Around the staircase there are many tree trunks and green vegetation on the ground. At the left of the screen there is a trunk surrounded by many Shide (紙垂). In such truck it can be seen a skull.
