Sakurada Gate
Sakurada Gate (桜田門, sakurada-mon) is a gate in the inner moat of Tokyo Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan. It was the location of the Sakuradamon Incident in 1860, in which Tairō Ii Naosuke was assassinated outside the gate by samurai of the Mito Domain and Satsuma Domain. In 1932, it was the location of another assassination attempt, when Korean independence activist Lee Bong-chang attempted to kill Emperor Hirohito as his procession passed through the gate.
