...I mentioned the other day: the Somon (惣門) gate of the Taitokuin (台徳院) mausoleum built by shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu for his father, Tokugawa Hidetada. The mausoleum has been destroyed and the gate was moved a little to the side; now it can be seen a few yards to the left of the main gate of Zojoji and the sight is somewhat odd since behind it there's only a stairway and a road leading to a hotel.
