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?
I got a great book as a wedding present. It has Japanese clothing, religions, gardens, archetecture (new and old) - with cutaway cross sections and floor plans, sculptures, pictures and maps of Japan with what to do etc. I know you're interested in going to Japan, so this would be great for that too. The survival guide is also esp useful.
DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Japan 2002. Great book for both artistic reasons and for travel purposes.
