The chokushiden is the place where an envoy, chokushi ’ΊŽg, stays when he is sent to a shrine to offer oblations to the gods on behalf of the Emperor. The chokushiden at Nanguu Jinja “μ‹{_ŽΠ (1642) in Gifu prefecture, is 3 ~ 4 bays with steps leading to the main entrance. Sliding doors are placed in each side bay, but the middle bay is open. This 3~1 area is called the *gomadou Œμ–€“°. Opposite the open entrance to the gomadou is a center entrance with double doors opening into the chokushiden which is 3~3 bays. Another entrance is in the center bay on the right side when facing the gomadou. A veranda surrounds the building. Sometimes the *shinpukuden _•ž“a, a room normally used for making summer and winter clothing for the gods, is used as quarters for the envoy's stay. Example: the two side by side rooms at Kamo Mioya Jinja ‰κ–ΞŒδ‘c_ŽΠ (1863) in Kyoto, each of which are three bays wide and two bays deep with gabled roofs *kirizuma-zukuri ΨΘ‘’, covered with cypress bark *hiwadabuki •O”η•˜. These characteristics do not reflect a set arrangement for such buildings. On the contrary, there is considerable variation in size and treatment of shrine buildings.
