text: The gate of the first unit (the Horotsuma group) has a row of breasts at the bottom and next to a somewhat ambiguous form an ear of paddy has been scratched. The gate was made over twenty years ago.
text: The other gate is also very old and is a remarkable departure from the standard pattern. Instead of a warrior there are two mithan inside the great horns and the warrior is relegated to the top left hand corner.
