Similar to the Karamon gate presented yesterday, the sumptuous entrance porch (kurumayose in Japanese) of the Ninomaru Palace in Nijō castle, Kyoto, is a symbol of high-ranking social status. This type of architecture was reserved for aristocrats, religious liders and the top members of the samurai class. In this case, it was built for the shogun Tokugawa.
