White Shinto Built Gates

I once was intrigued with the shape of a structure on a side of Hwy 18 and took a picture of it. It reminded me of something i saw before. Maybe at the Japanese Garden in Portland

Same shape here

Then i remembered something i saw in the movies. BTW, Southfork ranch is kinda small for how rich those people were. One bedroom for each couple? And God knows how well you can hear through walls in American houses.

And this recent post. In her IMDb bio, it is said Victoria Principal (Pamela Ewing) was born in Japan. However it is not said she was Japanese.

Keep searching for ranch gates. Found a few very interesting ones.

or this type

Which of course remind me of this (i don't believe in Auschwitz, only in its symbolism).
And last but not least, officially residing in the State of Washington, Bill Gates, his name co-inspiring the title of this post.
