Hozomon Gate (aka Niomon Gate), the inner gate of Sensoji temple. The name literally means "gate for storing treasures" as it houses the temple's Buddhist sutras, including Hokke-kyo (Lotus Sutra) which is designated a National Treasure and the Issai-kyo, a complete collection of Buddhist scriptures.
