| Research Abstract |
There are two phases of this study. One is about the carpenters of Kenninji-school who erected many famous architecture in the Hokuriku district under the Maeda's clan and the other is rather small in scale erected at Teramachi in the Kanazawa castle town.
There are two flows in the Kenninji school, the former is the Sakagamis one of whom became Daikugashira, head architect of the Maeda clan, and the latter is the Kohras who moved to Edo and worked for the Tokugawas as one of the Daikugashira.
And the point is whether there is a style of kenninji-ryu or not, in comparison with normal way of designing in the early modern times in addition to that, there is a possibility of distinction between the two carpenters.
Before making a comparative study between two architects it must be clear what is the characteristics of Kenninji-ryuh.
The most prominent architecture, what we call Kenninji-ryu are as follows :
Myohjyohji temple(the main ones are five story pagpda, main hall, Soshidoh and Sanjyuh-b

anshindoh), Nikkoh Tohshohguh(the mains are five story pagpda and Rinnohji Dayuhin Reibyoh) and Zuiryuhji( Butsuden). In relation to the pagoda of Myohjyohji, it is required to compare it with the pagodas of Nakayama-Hokekyohji, Ikegami-Honmonji, Kan-eiji and so forth.
In case of accurate comparing the architecture belonging to Ken-ninji school it is desirable to analyze the same series of architecture, for example, pagodas and main hall.
And moreover it is necessary to compare them with those of the same period in order to make clear distinction in the field of Zen style architecture.
In this study, Ken-ninji school pagodas have the same method measure planning which was adopted from the three story pagoda in the middle age.
Apart from Zuiryuhji(Butsuden) built in purely Zen style, it is rather hard to adapt Zen style to the main hall of Myohjyohji with Mikkyoh plan and composition with that of Wayoh style.
The most important parts adopted Zen style(tsumegumi) is to Naijin with squire plan(the main hall of Myohjyohji), and the other is to the inner structure of Gejin(domical space) by using long beam(Myohjyohji-soshidou).
The third one is the relation with eave bracket and rafter. In the Edo era though bracheting system, rokushigake was used all over the place except Hokuriku area. Like the main hall of Myohjyohji, yonshigake (side both rafter are placed at the center of both masu) was prevalent in Hokuriku area at the end of the Edo era.
The two characteristics and the decision method of measurement are conspicuous in Ken-ninji school especially in Hokuriku district. Less
