|  Genji Ή fence 
is a board fence with posts set at intervals and a base runner set between the 
foundation stones of the posts. The boards are erected horizontally (if vertically, 
the fence is called tate-itabei cΒ») with the top cut ends protected by 
a finishing cover board or top plate. The posts extend about one third above the 
height of the fencing in order to support a board roof with a ridge beam at the 
top. The space above the closed board fencing and below the roof, called a transom 
*ranma Τ is left open. Thin 
square lath strips *tasuki ζF set diagonally forming a criss-cross pattern in each transom add a decorative 
focal point. Sometimes the roof is made of tiles instead of boards. |
