我國最高學府東京帝國大學の正門
The Main Gate of Tokyo Imperial University, Japan's Highest Seat of Learning
A white, glowing sky shows through the black iron doors. The gate, together with its gatehouses, is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.
About this photo
Two thick, square gateposts stand left and right, with latticed iron doors closing the space between them. Outside each post, something low (a wall, or perhaps a building) extends to the side. Tree branches reach out behind the gate, and a few white clouds float in the sky. The whole photo is dark, with the area around the gate sunk in black.
The name in the title, Tokyo Imperial University, dates from 1897, when "Tokyo" was added to the front of the name. The main gate at Hongo was built in 1912 to a design by Ito Chuta. With the gate at the center, the brick walls and gatehouses are laid out symmetrically on either side.
