KEY WORD :@architecture / general terms
@
Wooden screens placed at the back ends of side verandas *en ‰. They are attached on their inner sides to the rear corner pillars of the building. Another post is placed opposite on each outer side of the veranda. A lintel is inserted into the inside pillars extends beyond the outer posts. There is a gentle upward curve on the outer ends of each lintel which is called either *kasagi Š}–Ψ or *kabuki Š₯–Ψ and is made of bamboo or timber. Above the lintel, a short strut *tsuka ‘©, is set directly in line with the outer post and supports a slender post that is attached to the underside of the eave *noki Œ¬. A transom *ranma —“ŠΤ, is made above the lintel. Usually, it is the type of transom known as *take-no-fushi ranma ’|‚̐ߗ“ŠΤ. The larger area is filled in with a thin board that may be undecorated or be adorned by a painting or an elaborate relief. A single hinged door maybe used if a rear veranda exists. If the temple building has a rear veranda that is used for storage, the wakishouji are usually fixed. Wakishouji are used on shrine buildings, especially those of the flowing-roof style *nagare-zukuri —¬‘’, and on temple buildings.
