There is another beautiful gate in Taiyūin-byō shrine. The four kadomori-no-kami of Yashamon (夜叉門) gate are four female devils; the colour of each body (green, red, blue and white) represents a cardinal direction (north, south, east, west) ― although I'm not precisely sure which is which.
If any of you know, please drop me a line!
