There are Shourou (Bell Tower) and Korou (Drum Tower) after you
passed through the Nitenmon Gate. Also, there are 33 pairs of lanterns
around. Those lanterns have been made of copper. Those were dedicated
by rich Japanese feudal lords.
The
Yashamon Gate is located after the lanterns. The Yashamon Gate enshrines
four female devils. Color of each body expresses the East, the West,
the South and the North.
The
Yashamon Gate is decorated by the arabesque pattern, which is arranged
with design of peony. The Yashamon Gate also is called Botanmon
Gate. The Botan is peony in English.
