Also called shoutei-zukuri
or shoutai-zukuri šé˘ or sannou-zukuri R¤˘. An unique style of shrine
building found only on the main sanctuaries at Hie Taisha úgĺĐ (rebuilt late 16c),
Shiga prefecture after having been burned down by Oda Nobunaga DcMˇ (1534-82) in 1571. Hie-zukuri
buildings are the east and west honguu *honden {{{a and at the shrine's
subsidiary, Sessha Usa Jinguu Honden ŰĐF˛_{{a. Viewing these buildings from the
front, they appear to have ordinary hip-and-gable roofs, with entrances in the
center bays accessed from the step-canopies *kouhai
üq that are roofed by the extension of flying rafters *hien
daruki ň÷Ř over the seven steps. The core *moya
ęŽ of the building is 3~2 bays. Each structure has one-bay wide aisles *hisashi
ů surrounding the core on three sides making it a 5~3 structure. Each building
a little over 11m ~6m, with a three-sided hisashi plan that is characteristic
of hie-zukuri. Without a hisashi across the back, there could be
no hip extended to continue a normal hip-and-gable roof. Seen from the side, the
rear eave *noki Ź looks as
if it were shorn off midway and the left and right hisashi were constructed in
an extended eave *sugaruhafu
ăvj style giving the rear roof a trapezoidal form. Other characteristic of the
hie style is that the floors of the three buildings mentioned above are constructed
unusually high above ground level allowing enough space for an enclosed room and
a long plank-like bench underneath the floor. The proportion of pillars and non-penetrating
tie beams *nageshi ˇ
are large, the incline of the roof is steep and the eaves are high above the veranda
floor. These buildings at Hie Taisha (also called Sannou Gongen R¤ ť or Sannou
Nijuuissha R¤ń\ęĐ) resemble temple buildings in the hip-and-gable roofs, in having
moya and hisashi, a coved, coffered, finely latticed ceiling *oriage
kogumi goutenjou ÜăŹgiVä over the place for the god , a board and batten
ceiling *saobuchi tenjou
ĆVä around the rest of the moya, and an open ceiling *keshou
yaneura ťĎŽŞ in the hisashi. The floor of the moya is
considerably higher than the mat covered tatamishiki ô~ hisashi.
Front hisashi have board-backed latticed doors *shitomido
ÁË in all five front bay. The first bay on each side has plank doors *itakarado
ÂË. The location of this shrine is in the foothills of Mt. Hiei on the side facing
Lake Biwa úi. Therefore, as the guardian shrine for the temple, Enrakuji ď at the
top of Mt. Hiei, the shrine has maintained a very close relationship with the
Tendai Vä sect temple. Slight differences between the east honden honguu
and the west one are that the veranda behind the moya is particularly high
and the main ridge is precisely centered in contrast to the west honguu honden which has a ridge slightly moved forward off center toward the front. |
