Differences between styles
During the Heian period temples were built using only non-penetrating tie beams (nageshi (長押)) made to fit around columns and pillars and nailed. The daibutsuyō style, first, and the zenshūyō style, later, replaced them with penetrating tie-beams (nuki (長押)), which actually pierced the column, and were therefore much more effective against earthquakes. The nageshi was however retained as a purely decorative element.
 * Use of penetrating beams
 * Wayō and Zenshūyō put supporting brackets (tokyō) above posts, Daibutsuyō has them protruding directly from the posts.
 * Wayō hides the roof's structural elements behind a ceiling, Daibutsuyō does not, using them as decorative elements. Extant Zenshūyō temples have a ceiling, but it seems this was a later Japanese addition and that in the beginning they used none.
 * Wayō has as sole decorative elements structures called kaerumata (蛙股・蟇股), Daibutsuyō has also kibana (木鼻), Zenshūyō adds to kibana.
