This should resolve the question unless there is a later precedent I missed.

Precedent:
The torii is still permitted in Society heraldry, due to its modern
familiarity among Occidentals (for instance, the word is found in Webster's
Collegiate Dictionary) and its valid reblazon as a Japanese gateway.
However, since no heraldic difference can normally be obtained from regional
drawing style, we grant no difference between a Japanese gateway (torii) and
a standard heraldic gate --- any more than we grant difference between an
arch and a dolmen. (Ihashi Hidezo, June, 1993, pg. 22)
