kakiuchi　欠打

KEY WORD :　architecture / joints

A nailed right angled joint made on two crossed structural members by cutting a notch into one timber equal to the width of the timber to be inserted. Both timbers may also be notched, pounded together and nailed to create a tight fit. Kakiuchi differs from the cogged joint *kakikomi 欠込 in the use of nails.
