Description: View of the main courtyard, Tosho-gu Shrine, Nikko, Japan. This courtyard surrounds three sides of the inner courtyard which contains the Worship Hall. Buildings from the left are the Sacred Dancing Stage (Kagura-den), the Portable Shrine Storehouse (Shin'yo-sha), the Kara-mon gate which leads to the Worship Hall, and the Shrine Office on the right. Photographed by Thomas Pringle. 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. In its present form the Tosho-gu Shrine results from a remodling carried out between 1634-1636. The architect/designer for this work was Koro Munehiro (1574-1646) Architectural style: The general style of the Tosho-gu Shrine is what the Japanese call kara-yo (literally \"Chinese style\"). This style was imported from China with Zen Buddhism during the Kamakura period (1185-1336). At the Tosho-gu Shrine the kara-yo style has been combined with Japanese styles.

Description: The washbasin shed at the Tosho-gu Shrine, Nikko, Japan. The overhanging tiled roof is supported by four groups of three granite pillars supporting granite beams. The area below the eaves is richly ornamented. Photographed by Thomas Pringle. 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 washbasin shed houses a stone basin containing water which is used for the ritual washing of hands and mouth. The Tosho-gu Shrine in its 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 style of the Tosho-gu Shrine is what the Japanese call kara-yo (literally \"Chinese style\"). This 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 capitals, 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.
