A temple hall built into a natural grotto, or a
grotto cut from rock high up on the face of a cliff or steep slope. One method
of construction is to build a wooden structure attached to the surface of the
cliff in order to create a worship area *gejin
Ow, in front of the grotto where the Buddhist statues are placed. In this case,
a steep winding path leads to a level area close to the entrance. Another construction
method is to construct a series of wooden steps at a right angle to the cliff-face
enabling the worshippers to enter the grotto directly. The Fudou-in Iwayadou sŽ@⎰ (14c)
in Tottori prefecture, is a complete building erected inside a cave. It is 3~3
bays (4.99u), excluding the veranda. The veranda extends across the front and
facing of the building, and partially along the right side where steps are built.
Boat-shaped brackets *funahijiki
MIŘ, are placed at the front corners and on the posts in between. The roof is
hip-and-gable *irimoya-zukuri
üꎢ, in front but the back is a boarded gable type *kirizuma-zukuri
ŘȢ. The roofing is made of rather thick, long boards split along the wood
grain *tochibuki z.
Closely spaced rafters *shigedaruki
ÉŘ, and double eaves *futanoki
ńŹ, are used only across the front. The flying rafters *hien daruki
ň÷Ř, are exceptionally long and give the impression of extended bargeboards
*sugaruhafu ăvj. The
sides and rear have widely spaced rafters and single eaves. The structure is supported
by a complex of tall posts and penetrating tie beams *tsunagibari
