Japan - Five-Storey Pagoda

Five-storey pagoda (Nara period, national treasure)

A five-storey pagoda outdoors with a total standing of 16.7 meters tall.

It is the smallest standing pagoda. It is a masterpiece of Muro Mountains that exudes a dignified atmosphere.

Sent by Yuki who lives near Tokyo, Japan.

Kohfukuji’s Five-storied Pagoda was originally erected in 730 by Empress Kōmyō (701–760), the daughter of Kohfukuji’s founding patron, Fujiwara no Fuhito (659–720). Over its long history, the pagoda burned down a total of five times, with the current reconstruction dating to 1426. At 50.1 meters, it is the second-tallest wooden pagoda in Japan today. Famous for its deep eaves, the structure successfully blends references to the architecture of the Nara Period (710–794) with the dynamic architectural style of the Muromachi Period (1136–1573) during which it was last rebuilt (read further).
