shinto? Buddhist?

[aimeekitty]

trying to do some research, behind this gate,... would there be a shrine? (what religion?) or is this just a decorative gate that can be used in front of any residence?

danke! *goes back to storyboarding*

That would be in front of a Shinto shrine (though the shrine could be out of view if it was up a mountain path). I think they're called "torii" if you want to research that.

Take a look at some of Ukiyo e prints, http://www.ukiyoe-gallery.com/gallery4.htm
