Mokoshi
In Japanese architecture a , literally "skirt storey" or "cuff storey", is a decorative pent roof surrounding a building below the true roof.〔 Since it does not correspond to any internal division, the ''mokoshi'' gives the impression of there being more floors than there really are.〔 It is usually a ''ken'' deep and is most commonly seen in Buddhist temples and pagodas (see for example the article ''tahōtō'').〔 The ''mokoshi'' normally covers a ''hisashi'', a walled aisle surrounding a building on one or more sides, but can be attached directly to the core of the structure (the ''moya''), in which case there is no ''hisashi''.〔 The roofing material for the ''mokoshi'' can be the same or different (see for example's Hōryū-ji's ''kon-dō'') as in the main roof.
==Origin and purpose==
The name derives from the fact that it surrounds and hides the main building like the of a pair of pants.〔Shogakukan's (Nihon Daihyakkasho, ''Mokoshi'' ), accessed on November 27, 2009 (in Japanese)〕 Its purpose was in fact to hide the thick sustaining pillars of the structure, making it look lighter and simpler.〔 It has been used extensively by the Zen sects in various structures of its temple complexes.
Another name for a ''mokoshi'' is , hence the name given to the style of a building featuring it.〔Iwanami Japanese dictionary, 6th Edition (2008), DVD version〕 This name started being used during the Middle Ages, and stems from the idea that its presence offered protection from snow.〔
