Also *otabisho Œδ—·Š. Otabi Œδ—· (revered journey); sho Š (space); shinden _“a (deity's hall). A temporary 1-bay shrine built once every year to house the deity, kami _, during December for the Wakamiya festival, Wakamiya onmatsuri Žα‹{ŒδΥ after it journeys from the subsidiary shrine Wakamiya Žα‹{, a subsidiary shrine of Kasuga Taisha t“ϊ‘εŽΠ. It is erected immediately before the festival and dismantled immediately after its finish. This sanctuary is primitive, and is constructed with unstripped pillars, kurokibashira •–Ψ’Œ, set directly into the ground. Bark-covered logs are used for the brackets, beams and bargeboard. Widely spaced rafters are made of bark-covered strippings; the gable roof is crudely thatched and simple unstripped branches serve as forked finials *chigi η–Ψ, and billets *katsuogi Œ˜‹›–Ψ. The back and sides are enclosed, but the front of the gable end is completely open. It has a floor and eight log steps. There is a simple shed roof that stretches across the front at right angles to the gable. This simple type of structure is thought to be derived from the style of Japanese architecture dating back to the prehistoric age. Example: Kasuga Taisha Otabisho Shinden t“ϊ‘εŽΠŒδ—·Š_“a, in Nara.
