鳥居 is a Japanese word that refers to a type of doorway or arch that is found in front of many Shinto shrines. The word is composed of the characters 鳥 (tori), which means "bird", and 居 (i), which means "to reside" or "to be present". The origin of the word is believed to be related to the belief that birds are messengers of the gods and that portals are a place where the gods can reside or be present.
