KEY WORD :@architecture / general terms
@
A box-like structure into which the rain shutters *amado ‰JŒΛ, are stored when not in use. It is generally constructed at one end of a veranda or against a wall adjacent to windows or sliding screens *shouji αŽq. The dimensions of the storage unit depend on the number and size of doors to be stored. The simplest one is called sara-ita tobukuro ŽM”ΒŒΛ‘ά. It has only a baseboard sara-ita ŽM”Β, an open frame and a roof board ten-ita “V”Β. Units that receive seven or fewer shutters have side boards. This type is called tsuma-itatate tobukuro Θ”ΒŒšŒΛ‘ά. When the number of doors to be stored is eight or more, the storage-box is called hashiratate tobukuro ’ŒŒšŒΛ‘ά. It has a strong frame with sturdy posts that are supported by base stones. Sometimes small floor joists are needed also. The roof boards are thick and are either tiled or shingled. If the box is unusually deep, a drainage system may be necessary. Usually, the rain shutters slide on a single track provided on the exterior side of the tracks used for sliding doors.
