Also called okuriari 送蟻. A right angle joint *shiguchi 仕口 used to suspend a strut tsurizuka 吊束. It is made with a dovetail tenon *arihozo 蟻ほぞ and is cut across the grain of a timber. The member to which it is joined has a dovetail-shaped mortise arihozoana 蟻ほぞ穴 and a sliding space nigeana 逃穴 carved out so that when the dovetail tenon is inserted, it can be shoved into the dovetail-shaped mortise.
