Paper introduces particularities of Japanese sacred architecture genesis through the examples of selected Buddhist culture monuments in the Aizu region. Special attention is paid to the unique constructions which measurably deviate from the mainstream architectural traditions.

Temple objects study and comprehension appeal for religious, cultural and, as a result, architectural and historical traditions expansion and development, as well as for transformation of these traditions in time in a kind of country which had long-lasting periods of relatively autonomous and even isolated existence.
