In my presentation that I gave to Tokyo Wonder Site staff and some of the residents I showed a slide of red gates like a shrine but in a walkway. Ueno park has what I believe is a copy of the large Kyoto, one that I hope to see on Friday. I found it really interesting seeing the red gates as they are very striking in their colour choice and I believe these colours will begin to work into my sculptures, as I have been struggling to decide how to paint works like my Nodding Donkey and Water Tower at home. The gates are also built in a very simple manner with just one peg holding them together on either side.
