The kami guardians of Yomeimon (陽明門) gate are two archers known as Zuijin (or Zuishin), which is the name with which the Emperor's bodyguards were once called. Their costumes and weapons are those worn during the Heian period (794-1185). The two (or four) kami which usually flank the entrance to a gate can appear under either human or demon form and are called Kadomori-no-kami (門守の神).
