KEY WORD :@architecture / general terms

Lit. large bottle strut. A strut that is used mainly in Zen style architecture *zenshuuyou ‘T@—l. It has a circular bulge at its center or a bulge at the top that tapers to the base like a type of vase. The bottom of the strut is cut out to fit over a rainbow beam. Together these two members are called *kouryou taiheizuka “ψ—ΐ‘ε•r‘©. A bearing block *masu “l, is mounted on the top to carry a bracket arm *hijiki •I–Ψ. This combined member supports the weight of the structural elements above it. Because the lower part of the strut straddles a beam, its extended ends on each side are embellished with carvings of clouds wave patterns, or young leaves called oigata ‹ˆŒ`. The bottom parts of the taiheizuka that hang down over the rainbow beam have ornamental carvings too. They are called *yuiwata Œ‹–Θ.
