Abstract

Purpose: This study focuses on the Buddhist temple architecture and the unique Japanese shrine architecture among Japanese religious structures, and by grasping the tangible and stylistic correlations and interrelationships of each of the traditional structural elements. Also, this study intends to provide basic data to examine the modern application of traditional building in the future. Method: This study conducted a basic study on the temple architecture influenced by Buddhist culture and architecture from China and Korea, and identifying the typology, characteristics, and mutual impact of each type of architecture. Based on existing research and literature, it was intended to derive traditional characteristics and types of Japanese architecture, especially by examining the types and characteristics of morphological components, and to comprehensively consider the characteristics and interrelationships of traditional Japanese religious architecture. Result: Through this study, the correlation between the shrine architecture and the temple architecture was examined through the relationship between the stylistic features of traditional Japanese religious buildings and the traditional form components. It shows that religious structures such as traditional shrines and temples have become the roots of modern Japanese architecture, and structural elements such as wooden structures and roofs still have a great influence.
