The term 'torii' indicates a gate to a shrine, most commonly found at the entrance to Shinto shrines (Shinto is the native religious system of Japan). The gate symbolizes the division between sacred space and the space of human beings. The forms of torii vary little across different regions. There are several postcards of torii in the album, suggesting the owner's interest.
