sangarado 桟唐戸 | ||||||
KEY WORD : architecture / general terms | ||||||
Also read sankarado. Paneled entrance doors introduced from China in the 13c-14c. They are associated with the Zen and daibutsu styles *zenshuuyou 禅宗様 and *daibutsuyou 大仏様. The doors are hung by pivot hinges *jikuzuri 軸吊 attached to protruding sockets at the top and bottom of the door. The panels are set into a frame composed of horizontal crosspieces or rails san 桟 and vertical mullions *tatezan 竪桟. The size and direction of the panels vary according to the aesthetic effect desired. Often the uppermost sections are filled with vertical lattice *renji 連子, diagonally set lattice, or other decoration including the crest of a high ranking family. In the Momoyama period (1568-1615), the panel spaces were filled with elaborate sculpture set in relief. Sangarado are usually double doors but occasionally each door is constructed as a two section folding door. Examples: Zuiganji main hall, Zuiganji Hondou 瑞巌寺本堂 (1610), in Miyagi prefecture. | ||||||
