This is the front gate of the house built in Tokyo in the Taisho period (1912-1926) by the Date family of the Uwajima Domain Province. It reproduced the style of the gate of a feudal lord’s house, and a guard house with a curved roof is attached to the side. It is made entirely of Japanese zelkova, and on the beam on the posts there is a carved wooden Date family crest.
