*Karamon Gate

Kara means Chinese style. It is 3m high, and frontage is1.8m. The Karamon Gate is the smallest building in Taiyuin Mausoleum, but sensitive and elegant works are put on. Two pillars have been made of zelkova tree, and are not exposed to outside. That gate is decorated by metal fittings. Some are colored by black, and some others are transparent.
