Description: View of the sacred stable housing the sacred horse used on ceremonial occasions, Tosho-gu shrine, Nikko, Japan. Photographed by Thomas Pringle in 1900 The Tosho-gu Shrine was built in 1616-1617 as the mausoleum or mortuary temple of the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). Ieyasu was the first shogun of the Edo period (1603-1868) of Japanese history. Edo is the old name for Tokyo. The Tosho-gu Shrine in it's present form results from a remodling carried out between 1634-1636. The architect/designer for this work was Kora Munehiro (1574-1646). Munehiro was Titular Governor of Bungo (present Oita Prefecture) and a master builder in the Shogunate's department of construction. He was also a sculptor of repute. Architectural style: The general architectural style of the Tosho-gu Shrine is what the japanese call kara-yo (literally \"Chinese style\"). The style was imported from China with Zen Buddhism during the Kamakura period (1185-1336). First used in Zen temples in kamakura, by the early Edo period the style was being used by other Buddhist sects. The kara-yo style refers not only to applied decoration, but also to the structural style of a building (eg. round pillars with tapered capital, complex bracketing above pillars which fan out in all directions etc). At the Tosho-gu Shrine the kara-yo style has been combined with Japanese styles.
