An examination of two pictorial sorces (Ichienho Sashizu, Zentsuji Garanzu) in the possession of Zentsuji temple (Zentsuji-shi, Kagawa-ken), reveals the following things about the Niju-no-hoto pagoda, described in the Nankairuroki, a document dating from 1243 (Ninji 4), as having been built by Kobo-Daishi (Kukai) : ・The Niju-no-hoto pagoda is in fact the same building as the Hokkedo, and both the upper and the lower levels were square in shape. ・In addition to the square shape of both levels, the documents reveal that the interior of the building also featured a Taizokai Mandara, and that the ceremony of Hokke Zanmai was conducted there. This is in keeping with the practices of the Tendai Sect between the late 9th and 11th centuries, and considering that the name "tahoto" came to be popular also in the Singon Sect after the middle 10th century, the building also dates from this period, between the middle 10th and 11th centunes. ・Thus, from both the shape of the building and its construction date, it is not possible to accept that it was constructed by Kobo-daishi.
