Lit. pouch or pocket alcove. An alcove *tokonoma °ΜΤ, characterized by a semi-enclosed section used to protect a scroll from strong, damaging light. The space is usually found at the front left or right side of the alcove and is created by a narrow wall affixed to a post reaching from the underside of the alcove's top frame to the floor. A vine-laced, latticed reed window *shitajimadoΊn, is sometimes provided on the outer wall to cast light on the rear wall where a scroll usually hangs. The nail *jikukakekugi ²|B, for the scroll is placed in the center of the rear wall. The alcove flooring material varies, and can include a raised board floor *tatami τ mat, a floor with a kick space, or be the step-in type. The inside of the alcove is entirely plastered but the post and lintel which frame the opening are not. | ||||||
