Making A Torii Gate | Photo Backdrop For Cosplay | Cherry Blossom Scene Backdrop Area (Pt.1)

We make a japanese garden torii gate which will be set up at the anime expo as a themed backdrop photo booth for Cosplayers. This video is part 1 of the inside look at our Japanese Torii Gate Construction. Join us in these videos as we design and fabricate a couple of decorative prop Torii’s for some scenes for cosplay. In this video we start the framing of the top beams. These traditional Japanese gates most commonly found at the entrances of or within sacred Shinto shrines will serve to be a stopping point or photo Op at the Los Angeles Anime Expo. Cosplayers from all around will have the chance to pose in front of these scaled down versions. We designed these Torii’s to be made from mostly wood and some metal. They will be free standing and be at one of the entrances of the convention and be surrounded by cherry blossom trees. We hope the project may help those of you interested in make a Torii for either your home backyard or garden or any other themed environment. Hopefully anyone workin
