Jinai-machi, Tondabayashi City
(Machiya in jinai-machi) |
All of Osaka's historic buildings were built in
and after the Kamakura Period except the Taho-to Pagoda of Kongoji Temple. Buddhist
temples are built mainly in the Japanese architectural style. Shinto shrines built
in the Medieval Period are mostly of the nagare-zukuri style, which is a variant
of the gabled roof style, but others are in the kasuga-zukuri style, which shows
the influence of the architectural style of the Nara Period. Other local architectural
characteristics include an abundance of strong decorative elements, such as Chinese
gables on eaves or triangular chidori gables on roofs. By comparison, many tea
houses built in Sakai during the Medieval Period feature wabi sabi, a rustic simplicity.
As for minka, many large houses still survive, and through them we see the prefecture's
history of wealthy farmers and village headmen.
