KEY WORD :@architecture / tea houses
@
Also called sutebisashi ŽΜ›ω. A pent roof with its under structure exposed that extends above a hardpacked earthen floor *doma “yŠΤ. When used on tea ceremony buildings it is constructed usually on the side with the guest entrance, which is generally the crawl-in type *nijiriguchi ηWŒϋ.
Stepping stones in the tea ceremony house garden *roji ˜I’n, lead the guests to the area under the pent roof where the sword rack *katanakake “Š|, is placed. Because the rafters of the pent roof are long, an eave purlin *dashigeta oŒ…, is necessary. Posts called sutebashira ŽΜ’Œ are set at wide intervals to support the eave purlin and strengthen the entire pent roof structure.

Dobisashi
“y›ω is also used as a synonym but some scholars who consider the reading dobisashi as a synonym for tsuchibisashi to be incorrect.
Example: Katsura Rikyuu Œj—£‹{, Shoukinntei Ό‹Υ’ΰ, Kyoto.
