Lit. Kinkakuji 金閣寺 style fence. A type of low, bamboo see-through fence *sukashigaki 透垣 used to divide tea gardens *roji 露地. Based on the open lattice checker fence *yotsumegaki 四目垣, whole thin bamboo are used for the verticals *tateko 竪子, while very thick bamboo are split for the horizontals *oshibuchi 押縁 and the crowning *tamabuchi 玉縁. These low fences, typically 30-50 cm, high, are associated with the temple Rokuonji 鹿苑寺 (Kinkakuji), Kyoto, but variants are found in many temples and gardens.
