Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Nijo Karamon gate

Tue, May 23, 2017, by Muza-chan
During the Tokugawa shogunate, the karamon gates were a symbol of power and authority, so their presence at the Nijō castle was mandatory.
The wealth of gold leaf covered ornaments was making a strong impression on those coming for audiences at the Ninomaru palace.
