Also abarawari あばら割. Lit. "sparsely proportioned." The same meaning as ma-mabara 間疎 (sparse or scanty). Relatively wide spaces, 30-45 cm, used between various structural elements. These elements include: rafters, called *mabaradaruki 疎垂木; the light-weight crosspieces for the framework of sliding doors *shōji 障子 and screens *fusuma 襖, called shōji-no-san 障子の桟 and fusuma-no-san 襖の桟; the components of latticework, kōshi-no-kumiko 格子の組子; and the muntins for a small fence, kakine-no-ko 垣根の子. When the distance between members changes, the term used does also: komabarawari 小疎割, refers to closely spaced members; chūmabarawari 中疎割, moderately spaced members; and ōmabarawari 大疎割 widely spaced members. The terms mabara, chūmabara, komabara and ōmabara may also be added as prefixes to the name of many structural members.
