Tahōtō
A is a form of Japanese pagoda found primarily at Esoteric Shingon and Tendai school Buddhist temples. It is unique among pagodas because it has an even number of stories (two). (The second story has a balustrade and seems habitable, but is nonetheless inaccessible and offers no usable space.) Its name alludes to Tahō Nyorai, who appears seated in a many-jewelled pagoda in the eleventh chapter of the Lotus Sutra.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Houtou )〕〔 With square lower and cylindrical upper parts, a mokoshi 'skirt roof', a pyramidal roof, and a finial, the ''tahōtō'' or the larger ''daitō'' was one of the seven halls of a Shingon temple.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Daitou )〕 After the Heian period the construction of pagodas in general declined, and new ''tahōtō'' became rare. Six examples, of which that at Ishiyama-dera (1194) is the earliest, have been designated National Treasures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database of National Cultural Properties (多宝塔) )〕
There are no examples in China, whether architectural or pictoral, of anything that resembles the ''tahōtō'', although there is a Song dynasty textual reference to a tahōtō'' with an encircling chamber'.
==Hōtō==
The or treasure pagoda is the ancestor of the ''tahōtō'' and dates to the introduction to Japan of Shingon and Tendai Buddhism in the ninth century.〔〔 No wooden ''hōtō'' has survived, albeit modern copies do exist, and stone, bronze, or iron specimen are always miniatures comprising a foundation stone, barrel-shaped body, pyramid roof, and a finial.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tahoutou )〕
