Abstract
This paper, the second based on the author's study of the design and structure of Japanese pagodas built in the early modern age (Momoyama and Edo Period), focuses on ruins remaining in Tohoku and Kanto. In these two regions are the remains of six five-story pagodas, 17 three-story pagodas, seven Tahoutou pagodas, and one Houtou, a total of 31 Buddhist pagodas that were built in early modern times. The paper reports and interprets the results of the field survey conducted on all of these pagodas on such points as: carpenters in charge of their construction; surface size and column length on each story; style and method used for each part; interior look, structure of beams; and detail ornament. -- AATA
