	JockBio: Torii Hunter Biography
		Torii marveled at Jackson's sprinter's speed, raw power and impeccable instincts—and thrilled with the rest of the country as he became a star for the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Royals in the 1980s.
		Torii was slowed early in the season by a short stint on the DL, but Minnesota played great without him, posting a nine-game winning streak in mid-May to move their record to 22-13.
		Torii's range is unmatched—a product of his tremendous speed and an uncanny, crack-of-the-bat sense of where he needs to be when a hard-hit baseball returns to earth.

	Unfocused: The Torii of Central Park
		Torii are Japanese temple gates, traditionally colored vermillion, that when through one walks I've heard said to be related to blessings.
		There is a famous set of torii near Kyoto at the Fushimi Inari Shrine that are on our "to-do list" for our next trip to Japan.
		The color, the concept of a path of gates, and from what I expect from both to be a similar (though not identical, due to the difference in the environments of mid-town Manhattan and a small town in Japan) experience tie these together for me, whether I get to them or not.

		Secondly, the emphasis of class time is on the Shu Ha Ri principle and not on the sport, competition or political scene of the martial arts world that has become more and more evident with schools that engage in high-speed promotions for profit and pushes towards competing to bring in trophies.

	Torii of Itsukushima - Miyajima Island, Japan - Great Buildings Online
		The Torii, or Gateway, at Miyajima Island is a classic and beloved icon of Japan, as well as a condensed essence of traditional Japanese architectural expression.
		This grand wooden gateway, both sturdy and graceful, sits in the tidal flats before the historic Buddist temple complex of Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima island, in the same region as the city of Hiroshima in Japan.
		At high tide, the rugged vermillion gateway seems to float in the waves around it, a gateway for boats, or for spirits indeed.

		"The second print in my new woodblock series of Famous Views of Japan, the Torii at Miyajima, is nearing completion and will be ready for distribution to my collectors and friends in April 2003.
		I visited Miyajima near Hiroshima shortly before leaving Japan in 1998, and when I went there, I was surprised to see that the Torii, the ritual gateway leading to the Shinto shrine of Utsukushima, stands on a very shallow beach, and as it was low tide, it was completely exposed.
		Having seen this famous gateway in unnumerable prints standing in deep waters of the Inland Sea, it came as a shock to realize that the waters were not particularly deep at all!
