English: Shofukuji Interior Kannon Statue. This building is a listed National Treasure of Japan and the only one in the Tokyo metropolitan district. It was built in 1278 and rebuilt in 1407 and is the oldest intact building in Tokyo. It it is one of the most complete and original Kamakura Era buildings in existence. It contains significant architectural innovations including the the use of elastic Japanese cypress, steel support chisels, decorative but functional brackets, and cantilevers. These innovations permitted a structure that appears lightweight and open with its curved hip roof, open interior, and floating, upturned eaves while being structurally sound against earthquakes.
