Paintings on a ceiling. The coffered ceilings *goutenjou iVδ of Japanese Buddhist temples have traditionally been decorated with floral patterns using the *ungen γγ coloring technique. Although four coffers *gouma iΤ functioned as a unit and were painted with lotus flower arabesques renge karakusa @Ψ (see *rengemon @ΨΆ) in the 7c, one floral pattern had been given to each coffer since the 8c. This general principle is preserved in temple ceiling paintings today, except for the lecture halls *hattou @° of Zen temples, where it has been common to paint a dragon *ryuu ΄ in ink in a circle, ensou ~ in the center of the single-paneled ceiling *kagamitenjou ΎVδ. With the development of shoin style architecture *shoin-zukuri @’ from the 16c, onward colorful paintings of various kinds of birds, flowers and plants have been depicted on the latticed ceilings of the grand halls, oohiroma εLΤ and reception rooms, taimanjo ΞΚ of castles and mansions. | ||||||
