*''Erected: 1710s''
*''Japanese'': 芝口御門 ''(Shibaguchi gomon)''
The Shibaguchi Gate was a large and ornate gate constructed in the Shiba neighborhood of [[Edo]] in the 1710s at the suggestion of shogunal advisor [[Arai Hakuseki]]. It was later lost in a fire and was never rebuilt.
The gate's construction was accompanied by the reconstruction of the Naka-no-gomon, the chief southern gate into the Honmaru (central bailey) of [[Edo castle]]. Hakuseki believed that in accordance with [[Neo-Confucianism|Confucian]] philosophy and Chinese practice, the shogunal city and castle should have particularly impressive gates leading towards and into the castle from the south.<ref>This practice can be seen in the Wumen, Tiananmen, and Zhengyang-men of the [[Forbidden City]] in [[Beijing]], and the [[Namdaemun]] in [[Seoul]].</ref>
After Hakuseki fell from power around [[1716]], however, the governing philosophy of the shogunate returned to that of the [[Hayashi clan]], and numerous changes that Hakuseki made to shogunal ritual and ceremony were reversed. The Naka-no-gomon was torn down, and when the Shibaguchi Gate was later lost in a fire, no efforts were made to rebuild it.
