The great Romon gate of Heian Shrine in Okazaki — a 1895 reconstruction of the ancient Ōtenmon gate of the imperial palace, scaled to nine-tenths of the original — presents Kotozuka with one of Kyoto's most imposing architectural subjects. The gate's red lacquered pillars and green-tiled roof rise above a wide forecourt, its bilateral symmetry and formal grandeur making it one of the city's most immediately legible architectural statements. Kotozuka's treatment of this ceremonial architecture emphasizes both its scale and the quality of its formal proportions.
