Abstract
The main hall of Saimyouji temple, originally built as a 5-kendo (hall with 5 bays in the ridge direction), was extended into a 7-kendo (hall with 7 bays in the ridge direction). The previous small roof truss is preserved in the roof space. This was thought to have been built when the main hall was a 5-kendo; however, further research has revealed that this was the first roof truss when the hall was expanded into a 7-kendo.
