HoryujiTemple was built in 607 AD and is the oldest wooden architecture in the world. The five-storied pagoda located nextto the Golden Pavillion in the west monastery is a wooden tower in the style preferred in the Asuka Period (end of the 6thcentury to early 7th century) and constructed to enshrine the bones of Buddha. A core pillar stands from the ground to thetopmost part in the center of the pagoda, supporting the entire tower as tall as 31.5m. The major characteristic of thisfive-storied pagoda is the increasing gradation of the successful diminution percentage (ratio of decrease in size) from thetiled roof or the first story roof to the fifth story roof. Inside the sanctum of the first story, Buddhist images created with clayaround the core wood are installed in the east, west, south and north directions. The prsent pagoda was destroyed by fire in670 AD along with HoryujiTemple itself, and is said to have been reconstructed at the end of the 7th century.
