Setchūyō Explained

is an architectural style born in Japan during the Muromachi period from the fusion of elements from three different antecedent styles: wayō, daibutsuyō, and zenshūyō. It is exemplified by the main hall at Kakurin-ji.^[1] The combination of wayō and daibutsuyō in particular became so frequent that sometimes it is classed separately by scholars under the name .^[2]
