Torii

...simple is hard. I had to sleep on this one for a few days before finishing it (I usually like to make my walls in one go).

A lot of influence from looking at gorgeous Japanese wall paintings at the Imperial Palace as well as Nijo-jo castle in Kyoto. The color scheme actually came from a bunch of traditional-style bento boxes I saw at one of the shopping districts in Kyoto (I want one so bad!! But it's like $23 USD for a simple 3in x 6in lunchbox -_-;).

And lastly, the title of the wall, "Torii" or 鳥居 literally translates into "where the birds reside."
I recently went to visit the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine. It's known for its thousands of Torii gates, set up like tunnels going up a mountain. Fushimi Inari is actually dedicated to the Fox...not sure of its connection with the Torii gate.
