Our Japan 1 backdrop portrays a torii, a traditional Japanese arch. This simple red structure is referred to as the “gate of good fortune”. Many of these arches mark the entrance of shrines or temples, and it is believed that the act of passing under the torii purifies the soul. Several torii arranged together create a beautiful hallway that allows slivers of sunshine in between the eaves. Torii gates are often made of wood or bamboo, and they are often painted vermillion. The reddish of the gate in this backdrop symbolizes happiness and prosperity in many Asian cultures. The lone torii seems to float atop a shallow pool of water in the daylight with Mt. Fuji, a famous and snowy Japanese mountain peak in the background. The cherry blossom tree’s buds grow into pink flowers as the spring season approaches. Japan 1 will create a serene and uplifting environment for your special event or recital. This backdrop is 10ft wide and 20ft high, and other sizes are available. Even though you are viewing a digital image, we can provide photos of the painted backdrop for viewing. We stand by the high quality of our backdrops painted by our talented artists using an airbrush technique. Lighting will enhance the color and detail in our backdrops. Remember that the best way to view a backdrop of this size is to stand back at least 20-200ft and enjoy the atmosphere it creates. Please refer to our hanging instructions to learn the best way to display this backdrop for your special event. You may purchase this backdrop or rent it from us for any length of time.
