This study aims at the standards of storehouse and the roof structure in ancient Japan. The research method used in this article is detailed study on the research in the field and the reading of repair work reports.
Previous studies thought there is no difference in the architectural technology between storehouse and palace buildings. But storehouse remains show many particular technologies and standards. Ergo, it is important to entertain the architectural structure and technology of storehouse through the research of historical architecture.
Mainly, this research has three conclusions. 1. There are no standards in column spacing with respect to each. On the other hands, the standards exist in column spacing in sum total. 2. The roof structure of storehouse has ridge direction beam. 3. The technology of “Furesumi” is determinative, and it is related to bracket complexes.
