yaguranuki　櫓貫

KEY WORD :　architecture / general terms

Commonly double-penetrating, diagonally placed beams that connect the main post *honbashira 本柱 and a secondary post sanebashira 實柱, to which the thick, heavy door of a storehouse *dozou 土蔵 is attached. Yaguranuki also are used to brace the corners of eave purlins *nokigeta 軒桁. When yaguranuki are not doubled, corner braces hiuchinuki 火打貫 of about 12cm by 16cm, usually made of pine, are used to tighten and strengthen them.
