A unique castle, with Chinese architecture influence. Red lacquer was used on the gates and numerous buildings. Sitting a top a large hill with great views of Naha.

「漏刻(ろうこく)」は中国語で「水時計」という意味です。ここは第三の門で、別名「かご居せ御門(うじょう)」とも呼ばれます。当時、身分の高い役人は駕籠(かご)に乗って首里城へ登城しましたが、高官でも国王に敬意を表し、この場所で駕籠から降りたということからこのように呼ばれていました。ここでは門の上の櫓(やぐら)に水槽を設置し、水が漏れる量で時間を計ったと言われています。時刻を測定すると役人がここで太鼓を叩き、それを聞いた別の役人が東(あがり)のアザナと西(いり)のアザナおよび右掖門(うえきもん)で同時に大鐘(おおがね)を打ち鳴らし、城内および城外に時刻を知らせていました。

☆漏刻門…漏れる時間の門とは如何に？余り日本では耳慣れない『漏刻器(ろうこくき)』=中国伝来の「水時計」の事らしい、段々に成った枡から水が漏れ落ちて水の量で時を刻むとか🤔 その漏刻器が門の中に置かれていたのが名称の由来❗️ 更に面白いのは駕篭に乗ることを許された琉球王国の高官たちが登城時に漏刻門の前で皆駕篭から降りたそうです、なので別名「かご居せ御門(うじょう)」👀 創建は1470年頃、戦禍による延焼ではなく老朽化で昭和初期に撤去され1992年(平成4年)復元、見た目は瑞泉門と同じく両側の石垣に櫓が載った櫓門、朱色が映えてます❗️
