1 Small, private buildings or rooms used by noblemen to enshrine their own Buddhist images *butsuzou 仏像, and for their own personal spiritual edification. According to the NIHONSHOKI 日本書紀, an imperial edict of 686 stated that every domicile throughout Japan must create a hall or space wherein Buddhist statues and sutras were to be kept, honored and worshipped. Appropriate memorial services were to be held to honor them. There are only two buildings extant that are presumed to been jibutsudou. One is the small building *Tougudou 東求堂 (6.9m × 6.9m) at Jishouji 慈照寺 (Ginkakuji 銀閣寺, 1476) in Kyoto. The other is the *Onrindou 園林堂 at Katsura Rikyuu 桂離宮 (17C) jibutsudou.
