Add to ORKG五重塔前の広場から見た表門｡明治4(1871)年の神仏分離まで仁王像を安置していたことから仁王門と呼ばれた｡神仏分離で仁王像が大猷院に移され､表門と呼ばれるようになった｡明治30(1897)年に再び仁王像が戻るまで､この写真にあるとおり背面の狛犬像を正面に置いた｡Omotemon is viewed from the open space in front of the five-story pagoda. This gate was called Niomon because statues of the Nio guardian deities were placed there until 1871, when Shinto and Buddhism were officially separated and the statues were transferred to Taiyuin Mausoleum. Subsequently, the gate was called Omotemon (Front Gate). Until the Nio statues were returned in 1897, the "komainu" (guardian dogs), previously in the back, were placed in front as seen in this photograph
