Photo: Dazaifu Tenmangu in Fukuoka City.  The red bridge over Shinji-ike stands for Past, Present and Future. The big slope of the past means the difficulty, but it turns in flat at the present, and then the future will have a little difficulties. However, you can remove all such worries after passing through the bridge.

写真は太宰府天満宮です. 心字池にかかる橋は、過去・現在・未来を表します. 過去には辛いことあったにしても、現在は安らかであり、未来は少し困難に見舞われるかもしれません. この橋を渡ることでそうした邪念を払うことができるそうです.
