This clamp is used in the construction of the lintel in an alcove *tokonoma °‚ĚŠÔ, and is also used to attach veranda *engawa ‰‘¤, boards to the framework beneath. It is paddle-shaped with two holes for nails about one-third of the way along the widest section. It tapers into a slender finger-like section that is then bent into a sharply pointed hook that is pounded into the upper side of a track or the edge of a veranda board.
