Sanmon Gosan no Kiri (樓門五山桐), or The Golden Gate and the Paulownia Crest, is a kabuki play written by Namiki Gohei I and first performed in 1778.

[1] Originally part of an all-day, five-act jidaimono play called Kinmon Gosan no Kiri ("The Golden Gate and the Paulownia Crest"), only the "Sanmon" scene is currently performed.

Unlike many other plays from the Edo period, often adapted from bunraku or noh, Sanmon Gosan no Kiri was written directly for kabuki.

It was premiered by the Ōgawa Kichitarō I troupe at the Kado no Shibai theater in Osaka, in the fourth month of 1778.

[2] Events take place at the sanmon ("main gate") of the Nanzen-ji zen buddhist temple in Kyoto.
