Lit. Indian style. The style of architecture introduced to Japan when the priest Chougen dŒΉ (1121-1206), returned from China. He was responsible for building Toudaiji Daibutsuden “Œ‘εŽ›‘啧“a, the great south gate *Nandaimon “μ‘ε–ε in Nara, and Joudoji *Joudodou ς“yŽ›ς“y“° (1192) in Hyougo prefecture. The Chinese called India, Tenjiku “VŽ±, and the new style tenjikuyou “VŽ±—l. The Japanese used the same term to distinguish the new style from the traditional *wayou ˜a—l. However, confusion arose from the fact that while literally the term means Indian style, and this translation of the term entered the English language, the style had nothing to do with India. Several decades ago, Dr. Oota Hirotarou ‘ε“c”Ž‘Ύ˜Y, the great scholar of Japanese architectural history and a prolific writer, created the term, daibutsuyou, to replace tenjikuyou. It was logically deduced from the work of Chougen, particularly his rebuilding of the Daibutsuden, the huge Buddha Hall at Toudaiji.
