An architectural term derived from the Greek word meaning tension or tautness. A slight bulge or protuberance added to the shaft of a column in Greek architecture. Visually, adding entasis to the shaft of a column softens the column's rigidity while also creating a sense of tension in response to the weight of the building above. In Greek architecture, this is most evident in Doric columns, and can also be seen to a lesser extent in the shafts of Ionic and Corinthian columns. Entasis was later often used in columns of Roman and Renaissance architecture, but in Japanese architecture, examples can be seen in the wooden columns of the Great South Gate of Horyu-ji Temple and the Golden Hall of Toshodaiji Temple.

緊張、張りなどを意味するギリシア語に由来する建築用語。ギリシア建築の柱身に付されたわずかな膨らみ、胴張り。視覚的には柱身にエンタシスを付すことによって柱の硬直さを和らげる一方、建築上部の重圧に対して緊張感を与える。ギリシア建築ではドーリス式の柱に顕著に表現され、イオニア式、コリント式の柱身にもわずかながら認められる。エンタシスはその後ローマ建築やルネサンス建築の柱にもしばしば採用されているが、わが国の建築では法隆寺南大門や唐招提寺(とうしょうだいじ)金堂などの木柱にその例がみられる。 [前田正明] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
