Wookie, I spent 2 years in Japan and I have hundreds of pictures of Tori Gates. I was intrigued by the incredible variety of styles and sizes. I saw them built of concrete, stainless steel, traditional wood beams, telephone poles and branches that fell from the trees. There's really no wrong way to build a Tori Gate if it looks like a Tori Gate to you. If you want a couple of pictures of authentic Tori Gates, I'll be happy to send you some.

Torii gates are essentially three pieces: The supporting posts, thecrossbar, and the decorative top bar. How you assemble it is largely up to you, however the more ornate or 'ostentatious', the more elaborate the scene behind it should be. Traditionally you should consider timberframing style joinery.

I saw that one too, I didn't realize they were made from concrete. I was looking for something more... wood. SWMBO wants a bed in this style

Thanks for the help, Wookie

Before you have completed the input you will be given an answer. Look through the offerings untill you find a picture that is pleasing to your Eye.. When these things were invented there were signs that were used for the purpose or someone decided they would like to make a Symbol to their religion or Gods. It, I believe is, Represents the Gateway To Heaven/Nirvana (Some Such). There are ,to my knowledge, no definite dimension. Therefore I suggested the picture that is most pleasing to you're Eye is the best to use . Now measure it up work out those dimensions and go with your Heart.. Good Luck. Oh! P.S. Mine Is to be my Bead Head using Tassie Black wood Stained Black and Red.. Traditional.
