As a company that specializes in Japanese gardens, we occasionally have the opportunity to construct such gates, and it is a great honor for us to be involved in the construction of such a venerable black gate.
Kuromon Kuromon is a gate called “Kabukimon” (gate with no roof), which is introduced in newspapers of various companies, and is made of two pillars and a crossbar. It is made of cypress wood and coated with persimmon tannin to give it a black color. It was completed after detailed discussions with the designer, Nikken Sekkei Ltd. From the black gate and pine tree planting to the pavement, we constructed the gate.
