この門はかつて明石城居屋敷廓(城主居館)の切手門(正門)でした。明治初年に月照寺に山門として移築されました。元々は伏見城の薬医門でしたが、明石城の築城時に拝領されたものです。桃山風の豪壮な風格の四脚門です。
15.He gate placed at Fushimi Castle
This gate was once Kitte-mon gate or the main gate, of Iyashiki-kuruwa or lord’s house in Akashi Castle. This was brought and reconstructed to Gessho-ji temple as its main temple gate in 1868. This was originally Yakui-mon gate of Fushimi Castle but given to Akashi when they built Akashi Castle. We associate the culture in the Momoyama period with this grand with four assistant columns.
