El término " Tesoro Nacional " se ha utilizado en Japón para denotar bienes culturales desde 1897. [3] La definición y los criterios han cambiado desde el inicio del término. Las estructuras de los templos en esta lista fueron designadas tesoros nacionales cuando se implementó la Ley de Protección de Bienes Culturales el 9 de junio de 1951. Los artículos son seleccionados por el Ministerio de Educación, Cultura, Deportes, Ciencia y Tecnología en base a su "especialmente alta valor histórico o artístico ". [4] [5] Esta lista presenta 157 [nb 1] entradas de estructuras de templos del tesoro nacional del período clásico de Asuka de finales del siglo VII.hasta el período Edo moderno temprano del siglo XIX . El número de estructuras enumeradas es más de 157, porque en algunos casos se combinan grupos de estructuras relacionadas para formar una sola entrada. Las estructuras incluyen salas principales como kon-dō , hon-dō , Butsuden ; pagodas , puertas, campanarios (鐘楼, , Shoro ) , pasillos, otras salas y estructuras que son parte de un templo budista. [5]
El budismo llegó a Japón a mediados del siglo VI y fue adoptado oficialmente a raíz de la batalla de Shigisan en 587, tras la cual comenzaron a construirse templos budistas . [6] Soga no Umako construyó Hōkō-ji, el primer templo en Japón, entre 588 y 596. Más tarde fue rebautizado como Asuka-dera por Asuka , el nombre de la capital donde se encontraba. El príncipe Shotoku promovió activamente el budismo y ordenó la construcción de Shitennō-ji en Osaka (593) y Hōryū-ji cerca de su palacio en Ikaruga (completado en 603). [7]Durante el período antiguo, el diseño del templo estaba estrictamente prescrito y seguía los estilos del continente, con una puerta principal orientada al sur y el área más sagrada rodeada por un corredor techado semicerrado ( kairō ) accesible a través de una puerta intermedia ( chūmon ). El recinto sagrado contenía una pagoda, que actuaba como relicario para los objetos sagrados, y una sala de imágenes ( kon-dō ). El complejo podría tener otras estructuras, como una sala de conferencias ( kōdō ), un campanario ( shōrō ), un depósito de sutras ( kyōzō ), cuartos de sacerdotes y monjes y baños. [8] [9] El templo ideal tenía un corazón formado por siete estructuras, llamadas Shichidō garan. El budismo y la construcción de templos se extendieron desde la capital a áreas periféricas en el período Hakuhō desde 645 hasta 710. [7] Debido a incendios, terremotos, tifones y guerras, quedan pocos templos antiguos. Hōryū-ji , reconstruido después de un incendio en 670, es el único templo con estructuras del siglo VII que son los edificios de madera más antiguos del mundo. [8]
A diferencia de los primeros santuarios sintoístas , los primeros templos budistas eran muy ornamentales y estrictamente simétricos. [10] A partir de finales del siglo VII Hōryū-ji, los templos comenzaron a moverse hacia métodos indígenas expresados por planos irregulares que resultaron en una disposición asimétrica de los edificios, un mayor uso de materiales naturales como corteza de ciprés en lugar de tejas y un mayor conciencia del entorno natural con la colocación de edificios entre árboles. Esta adaptación fue asistida por el sincretismo del sintoísmo y el budismo . [10] [11] [12] Durante la primera mitad del siglo VIII, el emperador Shōmu decretó que se erigieran templos y conventos en cada provincia y que Tōdai-jiSe construirá como sede de la red de templos. [13] [14] [15] El templo principal fue inaugurado en 752 y era de dimensiones monumentales con dos pagodas de siete pisos, cada una ca. 100 m (330 pies) de altura y un Gran Salón del Buda ( daibutsuden ) de aproximadamente 80 m × 70 m (260 pies × 230 pies). [15] El budismo del período Nara se caracterizó por siete templos influyentes apoyados por el estado, el llamado Nanto Shichi Daiji . [14] Las estructuras octogonales como el Salón de los Sueños en Hōryū-ji, construido como salones conmemorativos y almacenes ejemplificados por los Shōsōin, aparecieron por primera vez durante el período Nara. [8] [16]Las estructuras de los templos, como las pagodas y las salas principales, habían aumentado significativamente de tamaño desde finales del siglo VI. La ubicación de la pagoda se trasladó a una ubicación más periférica y el sistema de soportes del techo aumentó en complejidad a medida que los techos se volvían más grandes y pesados. [17]
El período Heian temprano (siglos IX-X) vio una evolución de estilo basado en las sectas esotéricas Tendai y Shingon , que estaban situadas en áreas montañosas. Surgió un nuevo estilo denominado和 様( wayō , estilo japonés) con las siguientes características: una sala principal dividida en dos partes; un área exterior para novicios y un área interior para iniciados; un techo a cuatro aguas que cubría ambas áreas; un piso de madera elevado en lugar de los pisos de baldosas o piedra de templos anteriores; aleros extendidos para cubrir los escalones del frente; tejas o corteza en lugar de tejas; y una adaptación al entorno natural en contraste con los diseños simétricos. [10][18] El tahōtō , una torre de dos pisos que se parece a las estupas indias,también fue introducida por estas sectas durante el período Heian. [19] [20] Según una antigua profecía budista, el mundo entraría en un período oscuro en 1051. Durante este período, la secta Tendai creía que la iluminación sólo era posible mediante la veneración del Buda Amida . En consecuencia, los Salones Paraíso o Amida, como el Salón Fénix en Byōdō-in (1053), el salón principal de Jōruri-ji (1157) o el Salón Dorado en Chūson-ji (1124), fueron construidos por la familia imperial o sus miembros. de la aristocracia para recrear el paraíso occidental de Amida en la tierra. [dieciséis][19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] Los salones que consagraban las nueve estatuas de Amida [nb 2] fueron populares durante el siglo XII a finales del período Heian. La sala principal de Jōruri-ji es el único ejemplo existente de estas salas. [16] [26]
El estilo Daibutsu y el estilo Zen surgieron a finales del siglo XII o principios del XIII. El estilo Daibutsu o Gran Buda, introducido por el sacerdote Chogen, se basó en la arquitectura de la dinastía Song y representó la antítesis del estilo wayō . El Nandaimon en Tōdai-ji y el Amida Hall en Jōdo-ji son los únicos ejemplos existentes de este estilo. [10] [27] [28] Las características del estilo Zen son los pisos de barro, los techos inclinados sutilmente curvados ( mokoshi ) y los techos principales pronunciadamente curvados, las ventanas en forma de cúspide y las puertas con paneles. [27] [29] Ejemplos de este estilo incluyen Butsuden enKōzan-ji en Shimonoseki , Shakadō en Zenpuku-in y Pagoda octagonal de tres pisos en Anraku-ji . [30] Los tres estilos japoneses, wayō , Daibutsu y Zen se combinaron en el período Muromachi dando lugar a un estilo ecléctico conglomerado representado por la sala principal en Kakurin-ji . [10] [29] Al final del período Muromachi (finales del siglo XVI), la arquitectura budista japonesa había alcanzado su apogeo. [29] Se perfeccionaron los métodos de construcción y se convencionalizaron los tipos de construcción. Los templos premodernos tempranos se salvaron de la monotonía por elaborados detalles estructurales, el uso de karahafu onduladofrontones y tamaño monumental de los edificios. [29] Ejemplos representativos de la arquitectura del templo de Momoyama (1568–1603) y el período Edo (1603–1868) son el Karamon en Hōgon-ji y el salón principal de Kiyomizu-dera, respectivamente.
