  Suzakumon Gate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Suzakumon Gate was the main gate of the imperial palace in the Japanese ancient capital of FujiwarakyŨ, Nara, and later Kyoto.
In 1993, it was decided that the gate of Nara would be reconstructed.
A conjectural model was developed, based on comparable architecture elsewhere, and the new gate was constructed from a mixture of traditional building materials (cypress wood and tiles) and concrete, in order to resist earthquakes.
