Horyuji Temple (Nara Japan)

Roof support pillar

The Kondo hall, located side-by-side to the Pagoda in Sai-in area, is another one of the oldest wood buildings extant in the world. The hall measures 18.5 meters by 15.2 meters. The hall is two stories, with roofs curved in the corners but only the first story has a double roof ( mokoshi). This was added later in the Nara period with extra posts to hold up the original first roof because it extended more than four meters past the building.
