aidaruki　間垂木
KEY WORD :　architecture / tea houses
　
A treatment of the underside of a roof, with thin bamboo placed between rafters under the roof *keshou yaneura 化粧屋根裏. Seen in tea ceremony houses in the *sukiya 数寄屋 style. The rafters usually are placed 92cm apart with the aidaruki centered between them. The rafters may be cylindrical logs or thick giant bamboo. This treatment of the underside of the roof is found most often in structures with eaves that are extended, debisashi 出廂, and in structures with a hard packed earthen floor to increase a sense of rusticity. Sometimes wisteria vines are added, especially to small bamboo rafters called medake 女竹 (female bamboo). An example is seen in the Gepparou 月波楼 of Katsura Rikyuu 桂離宮 in Kyoto.
