This study aims to clarify the role of kidomon (town gate) in Kyoto city under the Tokugawa regime.
This paper deals with the appearance of support with gate post. These supports are cannot be seen in screens in and around Kyoto of 16
th century. In those days, gate posts are self-supported by digging holes. From the end of 18
th century, we can see supports in building documents. These supports are buried about 40 % of full length under street ground and tied with gate post by nuki-boards. As the result of that, gate posts are not necessary to burry deep in the earth.
