Title
Horyuji
,
view
01
, the
Chumon
Description
From the
nandaimon
, the
great
south
gate
,
one
approaches
the
compound
of
Horyuji
along
a
very
long
graveled
walk
. The
compound
,
proper
,
is
surrounded
by a
cloister
, a
walled
and
roofed
walk
,
which
sets
the
compound
apart
from the
world
surrounding
it
. The
entrance
to the
compound
is
this
great
chumon
,
middle
gate
,
one
of the
original
structures
remaining
from the
late
7th
century
,
when
the
compound
was
built
. The
gate
, on the
south
perimeter
of the
compound
,
is
two
stories
high
and
four
bays
wide
. The
outer
bays
are
occupied
by
sculpted
Nio
figures
,
guardian
deities
of
Buddhism
. The
gate
at
Horyuji
deliberately
is
not
placed
perfectly
symmetrically
, at the
center
of the
south
cloister
wall
.
Instead
,
it
is
slightly
to the
west
of
center
, to
accommodate
the
placement
of the
pagoda
and the
kondo
inside
the
compound
,
each
equidistant
from the
north-south
walk
bisecting
the
compound
.
