The title "Rashomon" (or main city gate) has become a part of popular culture in the context of the "rashomon effect," which refers to when different people have very different perspectives of the same thing or event, much like as is seen in the proverbial tale of a group of blind men describing an elephant by touch - as a rope, a tree, etc. The actual story related in the film comes from a tale by Ryûnosuke Akutagawa, "In a Grove."
