Lit. window in front of stove. A window opened in the wall by the host's mat, *temae datami 点前畳, opposite the portable hearth *furo 風炉 in a tea ceremony room, *chashitsu 茶室. Traditionally attributed to Sen no Rikyū 千利休 (1522-91). The furosakimado provides light and allows heat from the brazier to escape. The window is usually filled with lattice made of ditch-reed and bamboo tied with vine, *shitajimado 下地窓. Most furosakimado are 54.5 cm high, 45 cm wide, and the sill is 21 cm from the surface of the matting, *tatami 畳, although the size can vary depending on the size of the room. Sometimes the window is higher than its width, and occasionally the sides have undulating edges. The window frames are usually plastered over completely, resulting in rounded corners. There are single grooves at the top and bottom of the window, allowing the sliding shutter, *shōji 障子, to open to about halfway across the window. In a large tearoom where a screen, *furosaki byōbu 風炉先屏風, is used in front of the hearth, the furosakimado is positioned higher than the screen and an ornamental bamboo post is attached outside. Generally this type of window flourished after the small-size tatami, daimeza 台目座, came into being, and many were made during the Momoyama period. A good example can be seen in Katsura Rikyū Shōkintei 桂離宮松琴亭, Kyoto.
