Abstract

Radiocarbon dating of wooden structure of Kan'non-ji Temple was carried out. This temple is said to have been built in AD 1226, although there are several descriptions of re-establishment in AD 1525 or major refurbishment in AD 1707 on Munafuda, wooden plate for constructing record. The calibrated ages can be categorized into three groups, that is, 12th century of Shumidan, a palace of Deity of Mercy, 13th to 14th century of pillars of the hall and urushi lacquer, and 15th century or later of other materials. In conjunction with its architectural style, these results suggest that the temple was established in Kamakura era.
