Tag:man_made=iljumun

A iljumun(일주문) is the gate that marks the beginning of the temple area in Korea.
'Iljumun' has the same roots as 'Hongsalmun', Japan's 'Torii', Vietnam's 'Tam quan' and China's 'Paifang', and has developed into 'Iljumun' in Korean temples.
'Iljumun Gate'(it means 'One-Pillar Gate') is supported by support pillars as an auxiliary, but as the name suggests, it is made of a single row of main pillars.
