| Lit. main hall. A Buddhist hall housing the principal images most revered by the particular sect of a temple. The use of the term hondou became prevalent after the rise of the new esoteric sects; Tendai 天台, and Shingon 真言, in the 9c. The term hondou is thought to have originated from the desire to avoid the use of the word *kondou 金堂, which was, at the time, associated with the six sects, rokushuu 六宗, that had flourished in Nara in 6c-8c. The hondou deviated from the plans of the kondou by establishing a less rigid arrangement. The interior became accessible to the devotee and a wore Japanese style was adopted. The natural timber buildings with cypress-bark shingled roofing *hiwadabuki 桧皮葺, had plank flooring either throughout the building or in the worship hall *gejin 外陣, in the front area inside the building, which allowed people to pray sitting on the floor in Japanese fashion. Some sanctuaries had a hard packed earthen floor *doma 土間, but others had plank flooring. The structure also had a hidden roof *noyane 野屋根, which was first used over the aisles *hisashi 廂, in Houryuuji *Daikoudou 法隆寺大講堂 (rebuilt 994) in Nara. By the end of the Heian period, many buildings besides the hondou had hidden-roof structures obscured by the installation of ceilings *tenjou 天井. Sliding lattice screens to separate the worship area from the sanctuary became universal in the hondou of esoteric temples. Examples: Taimadera 当麻寺 Hondou (*Mandaradou 曼荼羅堂; 1161) in Nara ; Choujuji 長寿寺 Hondou (13c) in Shiga prefecture ; Myoutuuji 明通寺 Hondou (1258) in Fukui prefecture ; Takisanji 滝山寺 Hondou (14c) in Aichi prefecture ; Chikurinji 竹林寺 Hondou (1469-1487) in Kouchi prefecture ; Enryakuji 延暦寺 *Konpon chuudou 根本中堂 (1640) in Shiga prefecture, retained the doma style flooring and hard-packed earthen floor in the sacred area, and plank flooring in the worship space. | ||||||
