九条通に面する南大門は教王護国寺(東寺)の正門で、数ある東寺の門の中で最も大きく、幅18メートル余、高さ13メートル余の大きさで、切妻造本瓦葺、三間一戸の八脚門(やつあしもん)で、慶長6年(1601)に三十三間堂(蓮花王院)の西門として建てられたものを、明治28年(1895)に教王護国寺(東寺)の南大門として移築したものです。 南大門の東に石碑があります。その石碑の前に小さな石があります。門は明治初年に燃えましたが、礎石の1つだけが今日まで残されたのでした。 寺伝によると、慶長9年(1604)に豊臣秀頼によって復興された南大門は、明治元年(1868)に炎上し、しばらく門がないままでした。 現在の南大門は、その後、他の場所から移設されたことになります。東寺の南大門は、2.5キロ東方から移築された方広寺の「崩門」です

It is the largest of the many gates of Toji, measuring more than 18m wide and 13m high. It was relocated as Nandaimon of To-ji Temple. "There is a stone monument to the east of Namdaemun." There is a small stone in front of the stone monument. The gate burned down in the early Meiji era, but only one of the cornerstones survived to this day. According to the temple legend, Nandaimon, which was rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyori in 1604, burned down in 1868 and remained without a gate for a while. The current Namdaemun was later relocated from another location. Nandaimon of To-ji Temple is the "death gate" of Hoko-ji Temple, which was relocated from 2.5 kilometers east.

東寺(教王護国寺)の南大門(なんだいもん)は、平安遷都1100年記念として明治28年(1895)に三十三間堂の西門(慶長6年(1601)創建)が移築された、桃山時代建築の重要文化財建造物です。 幅約18メートル、高さ約13メートル。 南大門を入ると金堂・講堂・食堂(じきどう)が南から北へと一直線に並んおり、この伽藍配置は平安時代からのもの。 これ以前の南大門は、明治元年(1868)に鎮守八幡宮・八島社とともに焼失した。

※建久2年(1191)、源頼朝は、東寺再興のため活動していた文覚の要請を受け、南大門に銭十万疋を寄進している。

東寺といえば五重塔と立体曼荼羅が有名なので、ツアーやガイド付きの団体さんは、灌頂院や南大門あたりまで殆来ないので、この辺りを歩き回る人は少なめな印象です。しかもここは無料で通られるから有難味感が少ないんですかね、私はこ...

Tolle Sehenswürdigkeiten! Ein wirklich tolles historisches Bauwerk. Einmal sind wir daran vorbei gelaufen und es war ein antiker Markt auf dem wir mehrere Stunden verbracht haben. Das war noch mal eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre in dieser historischen Kulisse. Alles war super gepflegt und in einem tollen zustand. Es lohnt sich das ganze zu besichtigen.
