Inukimon (Cast Gate) is thus named because its pillars and beams were cast from one mold. The stone pagoda was rebuilt in Chinese-style bronze around the time of fifth shogun Tsunayoshi.==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number88‐17‐0]
