No.6683 Kaminari-mon Gate

It is Kaminari-mon Gate of Asakusa that is famous for a big lantern. A dragon is carved on a part under the lantern. Kaminari-mon Gate is formally at the main gate of a Buddhist temple of Senso-ji Temple [the wind god of thunder gate]. I thank for having had the wish of the transfer that TAIRA KIMIMASA which was the feudal lord of the Awa country hoped for for 941 years in the Christian era realized, and it is said this gate to Senso-ji Temple that I did oblation. I was destroyed by fire by a fire many times, and current Kaminari-mon Gate was done oblation of in 1960 by Sachinosuke Matsushita of the Panasonic founder.
