Main Hall (Japanese Buddhism)

Main hall is the term used in English for the building within a Japanese Buddhist temple compound (''garan'') which enshrines the main object of veneration.〔Kōjien Japanese dictionary〕 Because the various denominations deliberately use different terms, this single English term translates several Japanese words, among them ''Butsuden'', ''Butsu-dō'', ''kondō'', ''konpon-chūdō'', and ''hondō''. ''Hondō'' is its exact Japanese equivalent, while the others are more specialized words used by particular sects or for edifices having a particular structure.
==Kondō (Asuka and Nara periods)==
The term , literally "golden hall", started to be used during the Asuka and Nara periods. A ''kondō'' is the centerpiece of an ancient Buddhist temple's ''garan'' in Japan. The origin of the name is uncertain, but it may derive from the perceived preciousness of its content, or from the fact that the interior was lined with gold.〔 This is the name used by the oldest temples in the country.〔Iwanami Nihonshi Jiten〕
A ''kondō'', for example Hōryū-ji's is a true two-story building with a 3x2 bay central core (''moya'') surrounded by a 1-bay wide aisles ( making it 5x4 bays, surrounded by an external 1-bay wide ''mokoshi'', for a total of 9x7 bays.〔 The second story has the same dimensions as the temple's core at the first story, (3x2 bays), but has no ''mokoshi''.〔
Some temples, for example Asuka-dera or Hōryū-ji, have more than one ''kondō'', but normally only one exists and is the first building to be built.〔 Because of its limited size, worshipers were not allowed to enter the building and had to stand outside.〔 The ''kondō'' and a pagoda were usually surrounded by a corridor called ''kairō''.
The use of ''kondō'' declined after the 10th century, when it was replaced by a ''hondō'' divided in (inner sanctuary reserved to the deity) and (space for worshipers, like the nave in a church).〔 The term remained in some use even up to the Edo period, but its frequency decreased drastically after the appearance of the term ''hon-dō'' in the Heian period.〔
