Restored from Figure 289 of structural engineer Franz Baltzer’s 1907 architectural treatise Die Architektur der Kultbauten Japans. Depicts the measured elevation and metric scale of the five-story timber pagoda (Gojū-no-tō) at Hōryū-ji in Yamato (completed 607 A.D., the world’s oldest surviving wooden tower), detailing the rhythmic diminution of the five tiled roofs, cloud-scroll cantilevered bracket complexes (kumimono), double-terraced stone podium, and 9.60-meter bronze sōrin finial.
