Also daibutsuyō tokyō 大仏様斗きょう. Lit. Great-Buddha-style bracket complex. A bracket system introduced by the priest, Chōgen 重源 (1121-1206) who introduced the daibutsu style *daibutsuyō 大仏様 architecture to Japan. This style was used in the bracket complex in the rebuilding of Tōdaiji Daibutsuden 東大寺大仏殿 in Nara, during the last decade of the 12th century. The only unadultered examples of this style extant are found in Tōdaiji *Nandaimon 南大門 and Jōdoji *Jōdodō 浄土寺浄土堂 (1192) in Hyōgo Prefecture. In these cases, the bracket arms are inserted directly into the pillars and are called *sashihijiki 挿肘木. The outward extension of the first and lowest arm inserted is relatively short. It carries one bearing block *masu 斗 that in turn supports another longer bracket arm on which two bearing blocks are placed. This is repeated up to six times in Nandaimon. The nosings, *kibana 木鼻, of some bracket arms are embellished with incised curvilinear ornamentation called *hanaguri 鼻繰. Along the walls, two-tiered bracket arms are inserted into the pillars to increase the lateral supporting strength. Huge bearing blocks *daito 大斗 which receive 3-on-1 bracket complexes *mitsudo tokyō 三斗斗きょう are found atop the pillars. Purlin-bearing bracket arms *sanehijiki 実肘木 are set into each set of three bearing blocks to support the uppermost beams *keta 桁, over which the rafters are laid. The bearing blocks are set on plate-like blocks *sarato 皿斗 and the corners of the lower part are carved in an arc shape up to the square corner of the block itself.
