Note: Similar image with additional information can be found on The Museum Meiji-Mura website: http://www.meijimura.com/english/list/index.html Note: "Meiji Mura (...Hakubutsukan Meiji-mura, lit: "Meiji village" museum) is an open-air architectural museum/theme park in Inuyama, near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan. It was opened on March 18, 1965. The museum preserves historic buildings from Japan's Meiji (1867-1912), Taisho (1912-1926), and early Shōwa (1926-1989) periods. Over 60 historical buildings have been moved and reconstructed onto 1 square kilometre (250 acres) of rolling hills alongside Lake Iruka. The most noteworthy building there is the reconstructed main entrance and lobby of Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark Imperial Hotel, which originally stood in Tokyo from 1923 to 1967, when the main structure was demolished to make way for a new, larger version of the hotel."--Wikipedia. Note: "The four gateposts are made of red bricks with horizontal white granite 'belts', and the gate is wrought iron."--The Museum Meiji-Mura website.
