Taisha-zukuri
Kamosu Jinja's ''honden'' and a granary at Toro is an ancient Japanese architectural style and the oldest Shinto shrine architectural style. Named after Izumo Taisha's ''honden'' (sanctuary), like Ise Grand Shrine's ''shinmei-zukuri'' style it features a bark roof decorated with poles called ''chigi'' and ''katsuogi'', plus archaic features like gable-end pillars and a single central pillar (''shin no mihashira''). The ''honden's'' floor is raised above the ground through the use of stilts (see photo). Like the ''shinmei-zukuri'' and ''sumiyoshi-zukuri'' styles, it predates the arrival of Buddhism in Japan.

Taisha Jōseki
The ''taisha jōseki'' (大斜定石) is the Japanese term for the most celebrated of all '' joseki'' (standardized sequences) in the game of go. It is often described in go literature as having hundreds of variations (大斜百変); this is more than a figure of speech, since many hundreds of subvariations have been documented, in high-level games, books and magazine articles. ''Taisha'' means 'large slant'. History The ''taisha'' was first seriously played at the beginning of the nineteenth century. For several decades, although the complicated variations may have been known and privately studied, they hardly appeared in important games. (Since the ''taisha'' formation can also occur when White has a pincer in place, on the top side of the board in the diagram, it would have been studied also in that context.) Then in the 1840s, the complex of variations that develops in one particular line began to be explored. These depend on external factors (the available ladder tactics) an ...

It is the sixth-largest island country by area, covering . New Zealand is about east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga.
