1@Also called enza, maruza ‰~ΐ, or ukeza kanamono Žσΐ‹ΰ•¨. The metal or wooden sockets, often highly decorative, nailed to the top and bottom horizontal members of a door frame from which to hang plank or paneled doors. Holes are made to receive the pivot hinges *jikuzuri Ž²’έ, which support the doors and allow them to swing open and closed. If the horizontal, top and bottom members are strong and thick enough, the pivots can be inserted directly into them negating the need for waraza. Waraza are widely used for gates or other buildings in the Zen or daibutsu styles *zenshuuyou ‘T@—l or *daibutsuyou ‘啧—l.

2@Nezutsumi ͺ•ο (root wrap), are also called waraza or *nemaki ͺŠͺ. They are protective devices that are placed around the base of a pillar to help prevent decay where the wood and ground meet. These are seen especially on shrine gates *torii ’Ή‹, of the *inari torii ˆξ‰Χ’Ή‹, *hachiman torii ”ͺ”¦’Ή‹, and *kasuga torii t“ϊ’Ή‹.
