Lit. Indian style. The style of architecture introduced to Japan when the priest Chougen dΉ (1121-1206), returned from China. He was responsible for building Toudaiji Daibutsuden εε§a, the great south gate *Nandaimon μεε in Nara, and Joudoji *Joudodou ςyςy° (1192) in Hyougo prefecture. The Chinese called India, Tenjiku V±, and the new style tenjikuyou V±l. The Japanese used the same term to distinguish the new style from the traditional *wayou al. 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 εcΎY, 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. | ||||||
