This paper traces some links between Udatsu and Daikoku-bashira. Both of them were seen in vernacular houses of town houses as well as of farm houses. The paper concludes that Udatsu and Daikoku-bashira were originally Munamochi-bashira which was a post supporting a ridge directly. The archetypes are chosen as the late-medieval structure of tow-span depth and Hottate-bashira which was a post with fixed end in a pit of the earth. Main diversity of Udatsu and Daikoku-bashira depended upon their location. Udatsu was within a wall facing on to outside while Daikoku-bashira was inside a house with detachment of a wall.
