東海地方における近世曹洞宗本堂の研究(その3) : 大祥院本堂・素玄寺本堂

Abstract

This paper is the third of a series of studies on the main halls of Sodo Zen Sect temples in Edo period, which remain in Tokai district. On this thesis I took up a Daishyoin Temple in Chita City and a Sogenji Temple in Takayama City, which are the oldest group among Sodo Zen Sect main halls in this distict. First, I restored to their original state so as to understand their characteristics as the main hall of Sodo Zen Sect in the begining of Edo period. The plan of their main halls have similar types, which are consisted of the unfloored part at the front and the main part which has eight rooms at the rear in the main hall. Furthermore according to the results of the restration study of this two main halls, it has been definitely shown that they had originally the straight Buddhist altars in the Naijin room. Therefore, I explained the characteristics of this two main halls compared with other remains which I have already taken up in the previous papers.
