The family crest was originally created from the pattern that the emperor and the royal family put on the kimono, and the pattern was made into a fixed pattern, and the one attached to his own oxcart is said to be the beginning of the family crest. The warlords drew large crests on the flag-fingers, used to distinguish enemy views on the battlefield, and used by the generals to determine which warlords were active and how much.

From the middle of the Asano period, it became main gate, ”Ōtemon“.The current was rebuilt in 1983.
In addition to the large main keep, many important cultural properties were destroyed by the war, but this Okaguchimon gate is a very valuable heritage that survived miraculously.
The main keep and multiple smaller tower/yagura are each connected by watari-yagura or tamon yagura to completely enclose a small courtyard or the entire honmaru bailey.
