Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Nisshin-kan Geki-mon gate

Wed, January 9, 2019, by Muza-chan
Photographed here is a gate of the Nisshin-kan samurai school called Geki-mon, meaning "the trident gate". The name comes from the weapon held by the guardian spirit statue.

The meaning of the Geki trident is "triumph over ignorance", so the plaque over the gate says that once passing through it, the guardian spirit will help you to become wise and virtuous.
