My question is ; What the hell is that arch made from?

Suggestions:

True grit

Sushi

Sony's public relations manual

A 1955 Mitsubishi Estate car fitted with Kamikazi airplane engine

The combined worldwide ethos of positive thinking people

The dead souls of a million allied prisoners of war who died building railways and other projects and who inspired the voyage of the Enola Gaye and thus ended their suffering.

The shop steward of the local Geisha Girl's trade union's work ethic guide.
