He who passes through this gate must give up all hope.
It is the entrance gate to hell in the 13th-14th century Italian poet Dante Alighieri's epic poem "Shinto music and dancing" (Hell, Song 3).
It is well known for its inscription, "He who passes through this gate must give up all hope," which is also used to express deep despair.
