Lit. male tile. Also written —YŠ’, called *fusegawara •šŠ’, tsutsugawara “›Š’ (barrel tile). A half-round tile, that generally ends with a lip *tamabuchi ‹Κ‰, used to cover the seam made by broad concave tiles *hiragawara •½Š’; or *megawara —Š’. The term ogawara is found in the SHOUSOUIN MONJO ³‘q‰@•Ά‘ (mid-8c). In the ancient period these tiles were also used as coping tiles for ridges. Tile size varied with the dimensions of the roof and to an extent with the particular period it was cast. Nowadays, scholars tend to use the term *marugawara ŠΫŠ’ while tile makers and tile setters use the term *sumaru ‘fŠΫ.
