| KEY WORD : architecture / general terms | ||||||
|  A threshold 
      or sill. A horizontal timber without grooves, positioned beneath an entrance 
      so that a door or gate closes flush with the threshold. Historically, it 
      was often a removable member, but it is more common today for the kehanashi 
      to be firmly attached. Examples are found in a row-house gateway nagayamon 
      長屋門 (see *nagaya 長屋) 
      and the residential gate *kidomon 
      木戸門.  |
