Lit. Hall of Dreams. A large octagonal hall *hakkakudou ͺp°, in the east precinct of Houryuuji Touin @²@ in Nara. The stone podium *kiso ξb, and the body of the building date from 739. It is the only extant octagonal hall to employ a railing between each pair of steps. The roof construction underwent radical changes in 1230 which included the addition of a hidden roof, creating a steeper pitch. Cantilevers *hanegi jΨ, were inserted to allow a counter balance between the downward thrust of the roof load and the natural upward thrust that it renders to the eave ends. The original interior was simple and used 3-on-1 bracket complexes and shallow eaves. The 13c remodeling produced a complicated structure and deeper eaves. The exterior has simple 3-on-1 bracket complexes both atop the corner pillars and also at the center in between them. There are both base rafters *jidaruki nΨ, and flying rafters *hien daruki ςχΨ. The rafters are all closely spaced *shigedaruki ΙΨ, and the roof is tiled *hongawarabuki {’. Like the octagonal halls *Saiendou Ό~° at Houryuuji, the Eizanji Hakkakudou hRͺp° (757), and Koufukuji *Hokuendou »k~° (1210), all in Nara, the Yumedono has descending ridges *kudarimune ~, and short offspring ridges *chigomune t. These are built up with layers of tile and each ridge terminates at the rear side of an ogre tile *onigawara S’. A very famous sculpture, the only extant statue of *Guze Kannon ~’ΟΉ is housed in the Yumedono. | ||||||
