Kuromon

Kuromon (黒門, Black Gate) is an historical mon (Japanese gate) that originally stood at a daimyo (feudal lord) mansion in Marunouchi, Tokyo, Japan. Though the exact date of its construction is uncertain, the consensus is that it was in the late Edo period, probably in the late 18th century or early 19th century.
