This is impressive in so many ways.

why didn’t they do this in the first place ?

Are you seriously asking why, a couple thousand years ago when gates like this started being built, they didn’t make them out of modern electrical speakers?

Yeah. Makes sense to me, I guess

….okay, repeat after me.


You cannot build something in 100 CE out of something that won’t be invented until the 1950s CE.

I don’t follow your logic

don’t listen to that poster, traditional amplifier torii gates were dismantled in the Edo period on order of Tokugawa Iemitsu (1623 - 1651), a noted devotee of acoustic enka music, in order to suppress the popular visual kei movement.
