Introduction to Rashomon ghosts

Let’s talk about Rashomon (Racheng Gate) first. The Heian-kyo in ancient Japan was built based on China’s Luoyang and Chang’an. The roads are distributed in a checkerboard pattern. The Suzaku Avenue in the center connects the entire Kyoto. It is divided into left and right sides, and Luo City Gate is a city gate located at the southernmost end of Suzaku Avenue. It was also the largest city gate in Japan at that time. It was a Tang-style three-story archway gate tower with cornices and red pillars. It was nine rooms and seven feet high. (about 18.5 meters).

On a stormy night, there was only a huge black shadow left in the unlit Luocheng Gate, as if a Gate of Hell stood at the end of Suzaku Avenue. Therefore, there are rumors that when passing through Luocheng Gate some nights, they see dim lights and dim shadows on the tower, and seem to hear the sound of something inhuman moving or talking (Original by Nightmare, reprinted with name), or even There are also people who claim that they have been attacked by the ghost... These are all rumored to be miraculous.

People even believe that Luocheng Gate acts as a medium for passage to other worlds at certain times and occasions. Some people say that when this gate serves as a passage, one can reach the underworld through that gate (Japanese legend) (the underworld and hell) or other unknown foreign realms, it has become the door of life and death that affects people's lives, so Luocheng Gate is also called Rashomon. With such a background, it is not surprising that people are convinced that ghosts live in Luocheng Gate.

The famous Japanese director Akira Kurosawa has his famous work "Rashomon".
