General Terms

Also written 破風鐺, hafujiri 破風尻, or hafubana 破風鼻. The lower end of a bargeboard on a hip-and-gable roof, *irimoya yane 入母屋屋根, or a gable roof, *kirizuma yane 切妻屋根. It is thought that until around the 13th century that hafu kojiri were simply cut off, and in general, exposed to weathering. Moldings, however, were usually applied from the Kamakura period, especially on buildings in *daibutsuyō, 大仏様, introduced to Japan at the end of 12th century, and *zenshūyō, 禅宗様, that began to flourish in Japan in the 13th century.
