|  A coved ceiling. A ceiling raised by diagonally 
      placed straight timbers *shirin 
      xΦ, or curved ribs, oriage shirin άγxΦ mounted on the ceiling lintel 
      or plate placed on top of the room wall. The effect produced is that of 
      soffits running the length of each wall. Occasionally, a small area within 
      the ceiling is raised again in the same way and is called nijuu oriage 
      tenjou ρdάγVδ. The elaboration of the ceiling in this way serves to 
      accommodate a particularly tall statue or to emphasize the sanctity of the 
      area around the altar in a Buddhist hall *butsuden 
      §a. In a raised area, joudan-no-ma γiΜΤ of *shoin 
      @ style residences, such decorative and comparatively lofty ceilings may 
      be installed to indicate the seat of the shogun.  |
