frame base. The pieces of wood used around a window used to denote the lowest
horizontal section of the dais for a Buddhist image *daiza
δΐ. Most kamachiza are made of more than one layer and can be divided
into the uwagamachi γy, upper kamachi, and the shitaamachi
Ίy, lower kamachi. Between these two levels there is often a stair-riser
*kekomi Rέ, a section
that is inserted between the two projecting platforms. The lotus-pedestal
*rengeza @Ψΐ of the
Amida ’νΙ image from the Byoudouin ½@ in Kyoto (1053) includes an example
of a multi-layer kamachiza. As in the Byoudouin base, many kamachiza
are octagonal, but they may be square kakugamachi py, hexagonal or
round marugamachi Ϋy. The term *mentori
Κζ is used when the edges are beveled. When the corners are rounded, it
is called irisumi όp (also written όχ). An *irisumi
marugamachi όpΫy is almost round with small indentations around
the edge. An example is found in the base of the 9c image of Nyoirin Kannon
@ΣΦΟΉ from Kanshinji ΟS in Osaka. In a rectangular pedestal shaped like
the character 'sen' ι, *senjiza
ιΐ, the upper and lower kamachi are two larger platforms separated
by a smaller rectangular box called koshi .@ |
