The Karamon Gate is an official entrance from the study of the house through the inner court to Korakuen Gardens. It is supported on both sides by the Sodebei and side walls. The Gate was burnt down in an air raid in 1945, and only the foundation of the gate, stone steps and the stone masonry were left intact. Karamon Gate has recently been restored along with the small pond garden adjacent. Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens is a strolling garden centered around a pond, reflecting the preference for the Chinese aesthetic with landscapes replicating famous sites in China, in accordance with the style of Zhu Zhiyu, a scholar of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty.
