ura-ita　裏板

KEY WORD :　architecture / general terms

A generic term for backing boards, which are boards nailed over rafters to form a backing for the roofing. In an open roof *keshou yaneura 化粧屋根裏, the boards are called *keshou ura-ita 化粧裏板 or yaneura-ita 屋根裏板 because they are visible. Boards used in a hidden roof *noyane 野屋根, are called noura-ita 野裏板. Ura-ita are used as a backing for latticework *kitsunegoushi 狐格子, or on the back of a latticed door *shitomido 蔀戸, and on the back of short, curved non-supporting struts *shirin 支輪. The boards that are nailed to the back surfaces of a coffer to form a coffered ceiling are also called urai-ta, as are the backing boards on fence stakes.
