2 A gate, now called Kyuu toujin yashikimon 旧唐人屋敷門, originally erected in Nagasaki in front of a Chinese style residence toujin yashiki 唐人屋敷, and transferred to Koufukuji 興福寺, in Nagasaki prefecture. The gate is dated 1740. It is a small scale, 1 x 1 bay gate, with a gable roof *kirizuma yane 切妻屋根, covered with tile roofing *hongawarabuki 本瓦葺. The gate has 3-stepped bracket complexes. One step has a decorative bearing block hanato 花斗. The bracket complexes are stacked transversely at each end of the gable and are inserted into the main posts *sanehijiki 実肘木. The top bracket is like an *udegi 腕木, an extended male brace, obari 男梁, that is connected to the secondary posts. The gate doors open inward and are placed between the main posts and between the secondary posts. The main gate is set at the very edge of a raised, hard-packed earthen podium reached by three steps the same 1-bay width of the gate. The transom *ranma 欄間, is elaborately carved .
