Gates Galore!

In previous posts I have pointed out how so many of the houses come right up to the street.  In a lot of these cases, the homeowners have installed gates.  I believe these serve three functions:
protection, privacy, and aesthetics.  
Click on this first photo and then "cruise along" for a wordless tribute through a number of my favorites. I have truly enjoyed discovering the variety and beauty of these gates as I've explored a number of Japanese neighborhoods in the Nakano area of greater Tokyo.




















Even the school yards have beautiful gates!
