A square
reliquary hall, used to enshrine the relics of Buddha, called *shari
ŽÉ—˜ (Sk. sarira). Sometimes the reliquary hall contains relics of an honored
priestA and mortuary tablets. One such hall at Saihouji ¼–FŽ›, in Kyoto, erected
in the early 14c, is thought to be the oldest extant . The Shariden
at Engakuji ‰~ŠoŽ› is the best known. It is a square 3~3 bay structure (8.12m
square) with an enclosed aisle and a pent roof *mokoshi
ÖŠK, surrounding all four sides of the building. The center bays are wider
than the others. The roof is hip-and-gable *irimoya-zukuri
“ü•ê‰®‘¢, and covered with layers of thinly cut shingles *kokerabuki
Š`•˜. The bracket complexes on the upper story are Zen style *zenshuuyou ‘T@—l. At Houryuuji –@—²Ž› in the east precinct the Shariden is paired with the picture hall, Eden ŠG“a. They are connected by a passage that is open on the front and back. The combination of the shariden and eden is only found at Houryuuji. |
