Marugame castle - 34

Samurai passing through '大手二の門 = Oo-te-ni-no-mon' and taking a rest at '枡形 = Masu-gata' · · · ·.
"枡形 = Masu-gata" of "Marugame castle" is so big that it can not be seen another Japanese castle.
The architectural style of "大手二の門 = Oo-te-ni-no-mon" is a building style called "高麗門 = Kou-rai-mon".
Although the name is "Goryeo Gate", there is no direct relationship with "Koryo of an ancient nation of Korea".

What is "枡形 = Masu-gata"?

From "Edo castle"
Current "Edo castle" has a palace of the Japanese Emperor.

Assuming that Jackie is entering into "枡形 = Masu-gata" as an enemy soldier, he will be shot and killed by arrows and bullets from three sides other than the breakthrough gate.
Do not worry!
Marugame castle has never fought.

Synopsis;
Dojoji 2002 is a contemporary interpretation of the Dojoji story, featuring the vengeful spirit of a girl who had been rejected by a monk, created in 2002. The Dojoji legend, is one that has been prevalent in the dances and dramas of Japan since the 11th century and has created a dance and drama genre called Dojoji-mono. The story describes the unrequited love of a woman for a monk; being rejected, the woman turns herself from a beautiful girl into a demonic serpent who chases the monk. As the monk takes refuge in the Dojojitemple, the woman destroys both him and the temple bell, (inside which the monk is hiding) by burning them to ashes. The bell serves as a symbol of the woman's desire, longing, passion, anger, and eventual self-destruction.
