nokishirin 軒支輪
KEY WORD : architecture / general terms
 
Convex struts set under eaves at intervals between the eave purlins *gagyou 丸桁, and the bracket tie beams *tooshihijiki 通し肘木. Until approximately 800, straight, diagonally placed members were used in this position, and later when the eave purlin was raised, long straight members were again used. From the 15c, nokishirin became narrow S-shape struts that were set nearly vertical.
