Events

  • January 26 – Fire breaks out in the golden hall of Horyu-ji Buddhist temple, Japan, causing severe damage to the building, mainly its first floor, and murals. As a result of the restoration (completed in 1954) it is estimated that about 15–20% of the original seventh century Kondo materials is left in the building; the charred timbers are carefully removed to a separate fireproof warehouse for future research.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wVk7s0W8IT8C&q=horyu+ji&pg=PA21|title=Conservation of Historic Timber Structures: an ecological approach |page=21|accessdate=2007-04-03|publisher=Elsevier|year=2000|author=Nils Marstein, Knut Einar Larsen|isbn=9780750634342 }}{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zh88TftnTsYC&q=horyu+ji&pg=RA1-PA48|title=Hozon: architectural and urban conservation in Japan|page=48|accessdate=2007-04-03|publisher=Edition Axel Menges|year=1998|author=Niels Gutschow, Siegfried RCT Enders|isbn=9783930698981}}
