Inukimon Gate and the treasure tower at the Okusha,Toshogu Shrine,Nikko

The Okusha (inner shrine) at Nikko Toshogu contains the tomb of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Above the stone steps is Inuki Gate, behind which the pagoda containing the tomb is visible. 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 Number89‐11‐0]
