English: From original book: "The doors of the kura are ponderous structures, and are usually left open for ventilation; a heavily grated sliding door, however, closes the entrance effectually when the thick doors are left open. Fig. 140 represents the doorway of an old kura in Kioto illustrating these features. In fig. 141 the large key is the one belonging to the inner grated door, while fig. 142 shows the padlock to the outer doors. "
