| Lit. main hall. A Buddhist hall housing the principal images most revered by the particular sect of a temple. The use of the term hondou became prevalent after the rise of the new esoteric sects mikkyou 密教: Tendai 天台, and Shingon 真言 sects, in the 9c. The term hondou is thought to have originated from the desire to avoid the use of the word *kondou 金堂, which was, at the time, associated with the six sects, rokushuu 六宗, that had flourished in Nara in 6c-8c. The hondou deviated from the plans of the kondou by establishing a less rigid arrangement. The interior became accessible to the devotee and a wore 'Japanese style' was adopted. The natural timber buildings with cypress-bark shingled roofing *hiwadabuki 桧皮葺 , had plank flooring either thoughout the building or in the worship hall, *gejin 外陣, in the front area inside the building, which allowed people to pray sitting on the floor in Japanese fashion. Some sanctuaries had a hard packed earthen floor *doma 土間, but others had plank flooring. The structure also had a hidden roof *noyane 野屋根, which was first used over the aisles *hisashi 廂, in the Houryuuji 法隆寺 large lecture hall *Daikoudou 大講堂 (rebuilt 994) in Nara. By the end of the Heian period (1185), many buildings besides the hondou had hidden-roof structures obscured by the installation of ceilings *tenjou 天井. Sliding lattice screens to separate the worship area from the sanctuary became universal in the hondou of esoteric temples. Examples: Taimadera 当麻寺 Hondou (* Mandaradou 曼陀羅堂; 1161), in Nara ; Choujuji 長寿寺 Hondou (13c), Shiga prefecture ; Myoutuuji 明通寺 Hondou (1258) Fukui prefecture ; Takisanji 滝山寺 Hondou (14c) Aichi prefecture ; Chikurinji 竹林寺, Hondou (1469-1487), Kouchi prefecture ; Enryakuji 延暦寺 *Konpon chuudou 根本中堂 (present building 1640), Shiga prefecture, retained the doma style flooring and hard-packed earthen floor in the sacred area, and plank flooring in the worship space. | ||||||
