Lattice windows and stockades were painted green, *rokushou —ΐΒ. However, Zen style *zenshuuyou ‘T@—l, building had unpainted wood surfaces, and this influenced temple architecture in general from the Kamakura period (13c) on ward. Some exceptions included the use of black lacquer, kurourushi •Ž½, on buildings, and gold leaf, kinpaku ‹ΰ”“, on Rokuonji Kinkaku, Ž­‰‘Ž›‹ΰŠt, (1398) in Kyoto. In shrine architecture, uncoloured timbers were traditionally used in the ancient shinmei style, *shinmei-zukuri _–Ύ‘’Abut after the introduction of Buddhism in the 5-6th centuries, colours were applied to shrines, an influence of Buddhist temple architecture.
