Refs: | Not actually an entry in the specified reference: 【石窟寺院】より …丘陵や山崖を掘開し,目的用途に従って内部空間を整備した宗教施設の総称。窟院と略称する。 i.e. name-ish use google ngrams 窟院 861 巌窟院 403 All googits I get are for ハニベ巌窟院. Googling "窟院" -’巌窟院” there's some evidence of it being used in the Japanese names of some Indian cave temples e.g. アジャンター窟院. There's also this book/publication: 西歴五世紀における中国北部仏教窟院の考古学的調査報告 東方文化研究 Kind of obscure, but maybe not quite [obsc]-worthy. |
