東京開化三十六景 浅草金龍山仁王門
The Niomon Gate of Kinryuzan in Asakusa, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
A large vermilion gate and a multi-tiered pagoda face each other, with a pine tree between them. The Niomon Gate of Sensoji Temple is now known as the Hozomon Gate.
About this print
The two-story gate takes up the left half of the picture, and its gray tiled roof reaches all the way to the top edge. At its foot, where thick vermilion pillars stand in a row, people crowd together. Among the figures in navy and blue, you can also spot someone holding something round and white, and a small figure in yellow.
Today's Hozomon was rebuilt in reinforced concrete in 1964. The gate was renamed from Niomon to Hozomon, "Treasure House Gate," because it also came to serve as a storehouse for sutras and temple treasures.
Toward the right of the crowd, one figure in red leans far to the left. Among the people standing straight, that red figure catches the eye.
