| In the Medieval period, architectural styles according to the Buddhist sect were categorized such that Zenshu-yo (Zen-sect-style architecture) was used for Temples of the Zen sect and Wayo (some included Setchu-yo (mixed style between the Wayo style's basic plan and the features of the Zen sect style) adopting Great Buddha) was used for esoteric Buddhism temples. |
中世においては、禅宗寺院では禅宗様、密教寺院には和様（一部に大仏様を取り入れた折衷様）と宗派と建築様式の区分もあった。 |
