orange torii 2
The Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto Japan is well known for its torii gates. These gates are placed all over the complex in different sizes. All the torii gates have this special bright orange colors which make a great contrast with the landscape. The torii were donated to the shrine with the donor's name inscribed on the back of each torii.

is this the gate known from the great film "Memoirs of a Geisha" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397535/)?
