Abstract
Tanzan-Jinja is one of important shrines in the history of Japanese architecture on account of its characteristic plan and style. I showed in my monograph the following facts. 1. 'Ikken-shimen bisashi' plan of this shrine probably traces back to 914. 2. The style of 'Kasuga-zukuri' may have been used in 914. 3. The plan may have a distinctive feature of 'Miedo' (a hall which installs a portrait) as which this shrine was built originally.
