History of the Akita Inu and Torii Gates

Originating from the mountainous northern regions of Japan, Akita Inu dogs were historically honored as brave hunting companions and symbols of good health. A torii gate marks the entrance to sacred grounds in Japanese tradition, crafted from heavy timber beams joined without metal nails. The breed's plush double coat evolved to protect it from harsh mountain snow and freezing winter winds.
