 note = {Restoration work of the Sanbutsu-do of Rinnohji temple in Nikko (World Heritage) was conducted in 2008. Severe damage was found in some structural wooden pieces of the temple. The damage seemed to have rare characteristics: very severe damage in hard (heart) wood, such parts were extensively damaged to powdery state and there were many holes of various sizes. However, damage was not clear by observation from outside of the structure, especially when seen from the red painted layer of Urushi. Such characteristics were very rare, though many examples of insect damage have been observed in historic structures in Japan. Thus, the severely infested wooden pieces were investigated to identify the insects involved. Insects found in one of the pieces were identified as Priobium cylindricum, a very rare anobiid species in Japan. This is thought to be the first record of damage by this species in a historic building of important cultural property in Japan.
 Sanbutsu-do was reconstructed in 1645 (Edo period). The damage was more severe in parts where old wooden pieces (Edo period) are used than in the partially added pieces dating to the 1950's restoration. Damage was observed at various parts of the structure. Countermeasures were proposed based on the results of the survey of the structure.},
