Also kirou ‹@˜L. Small, single-storied, detached buildings on temple grounds constructed on each side of a two-storied gate *nijuumon “ρd–ε. Sanrou are most commonly found either side of the large main gates *sanmon ŽO–ε at Zen sect, zenshuu ‘T@, temples. Generally enclosed, they are entrances to stairways leading to the second story of the gate. Most have extended roofs over the stairways, or the stairways are positioned so that the overhang of the gate's roof protects them. Usually sanrou have gable roofs *kirizuma-zukuri ΨΘ‘’. The earliest extant sanrou is part of the Toufukuji Sanmon “Œ•ŸŽ›ŽO–ε (1428) in Kyoto. The Sanrou at Toufukuji are 2~2 bays, and have gable roofs, covered with tile *hongawarabuki –{Š’•˜, matching the roof of the large 5~2-bay (25.88m~10.35m) gate. They are partially walled, from the ground level to less than half the height of the posts that support the roof. The stairs are protected not only by the roof of the sanrou but also by the deep overhang of the first story roof. Two examples of Sanmon with sanrou an be found at Manpukuji δέ•ŸŽ› (1678) in Kyoto, which has a 3~2-bay (17.68m~9.61m), Sanmon with a 2~2-bay sanrou and at Toukouji “ŒŒυŽ› (1811) in Yamaguchi prefecture, which has a 3~2 bay (11.50 m~ 6.60m) sanrou.
