A decoration in the shape of the onion-bulb jewel *houju
σμ, found on top of the newel oyabashira e, of railings *kouran
, bridges, and platforms *dan

shinchuu ^θJ, and iron. The giboshi consists of a cylindrical

Β or *yokoshino

« or *manjuugata
ι\ͺ`, supporting what is called the jewel pedestal, gyokudai, tamadai
