Shoin-zukuri (書院造)
is a style of Japanese residential architecture used in the mansions of
the military, temple guest halls, and Zen abbot's quarters of the Azuchi-Momoyama (1568-1600) and Edo periods (1600-1868).
It forms the basis of today's traditional-style Japanese house.
Characteristics of the shoin-zukuri development were the incorporation of square posts and floors completely covered with tatami.[1]
The style takes its name from the shoin, a term that originally meant a study and a place for lectures on the sūtra within a temple, but which later came to mean just a drawing room or study.[2]
Ginkaku-ji's Tōgu-dō is the oldest extant example of shoin-zukuri.
The foundations for the design of today's traditional Japanese residential houses with tatami floors were established in the late Muromachi period and refined during the ensuing Momoyama period.[3][4]
Shoin-zukuri, a new architectural style influenced by Zen Buddhism, developed during that time from the shinden-zukuri of the earlier Heian period's palaces and the subsequent residential style favored by the warrior class during the Kamakura period.[3][5][6]
