to affix a plank door to its structure. The kannuki is slipped through cleats,
kannukikasugai 閂鎹 or kannukimochi kanamono 閂持鉄物, which are attached
to vertical stiles, kannukitatezan 閂竪桟, and/or to one vertical
stile and an additional vertical member called kannukizuri tatezan 閂摺竪桟,

or gate is used, the kannuki cleats that are slipped through and secured
to a vertical stile and to a horizontal member are called kannukimochizan
閂持桟. |
