Korumon (Black Gate)

With its distinctive four pillars, replete with bullet holes from the country's 1868 civil war, stands the gate to the residence of Kan'eiji's abbot, a royal prince. By disguising himself, he managed to escape unharmed, leaving the city of Edo on a boat. At that time, it was quite common for the clergy to be considered members of the imperial family, which may be why his flight was successful.
