KEY WORD :　architecture / general terms
　
A single bracket arm *hijiki 肘木, which is set into a large bearing block *masu 斗. Two or three smaller bearing blocks *makito 巻斗, are set into the top surface of the masu. It runs parallel to the wall plane and supports the eave purlin *gagyou 丸桁. It may carry a *sanehijiki 実肘木, a bracket arm on which the eave purlin rests directly. The name is said to be derived from its resemblance to a balance because of the small bearing blocks on each end.
