In Japanese mythology, there is a story called Ama-no-iwato. After some struggles with her family, the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu, closed herself away inside a cavern called Ama-no-iwato, thus plunging the world into darkness.

The other gods and goddesses did everything they could to try and draw Amaterasu out from the cavern. After a great number of attempts, part of the series of events that finally succeeded in bringing her out into the world once more the sound of birds singing as it sat in the wild mistletoe growing outside of the cavern entrance way.

The deities of Japan are thought to reside beyond the tree near where birds sit, resulting in the name “torii.” Torii is written with the characters for “bird” and “reside” in kanji characters.
