a single roof. The variety used is related to the type and complexity of
the roof. The different types of roofs that are covered with tile include:
a simple gable roof *kirizuma
yane Øȉ®ª, a hipped roof *yosemune
yane Šñ“‰®ª, a hip-and-gable roof *irimoya
yane “ü•ê‰®‰®ª, and a pyramidal roof *hougyou
yane •óŒ`‰®ª. The most basic tiles are the broad, concave tiles *hiragawara

join. Along the eave-ends, pendants *gatou
