Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Maybe we could wrap it in pink plastic or crimson velour or something, drum up a little more tourism, don’tcha think? Also noted by Robert Brady.

This is the very FIRST thing I thought of when I heard what Cristo was up to. Seeing pictures just confirmed my suspicions.

You are so right! I have been TRYING to tell people this but they think I’m being overly critical or anti-New York. Cristo is a total rip off if you ask me. He doesn’t even reference the Kyoto temple as an inspiration in his book about his “red gates”. It’s a lame copy of the real thing.

So you admit being “anti-New York”? Where do you live? California?!? I suppose you think Cristo “ripped off” the Golden Gate bridge, too? That color seems awefully familiar!
