Daiko-gu Hina-gata: From the One-Room Shrine to the Haiden and Torii - Shinzo Togashi

Description:
From the Edo period through the Meiji and Taisho eras, various model books were essential design and construction manuals for many carpenters. This book carefully deciphers the difficult-to-understand wording of the time and illustrates it with drawings to make it applicable to modern carpentry. This "must-have book" establishes the basics of shrine architecture and allows for a wide range of applications, from small shrine pavilions to magnificent five-bay main halls and worship halls.
