A plane used to curve the grooves in a doorsill or lintel. Unlike the *mizoganna 溝鉋, this plane has a guide attached to the plane stock which serves as a regulator that precisely controls the position and length of the groove. The motoichi shakuriganna also has a special blade for paring the sides of a groove called a wakibari 脇針. The main cutting blade is fitted into the top of the plane stock in the same way as a smoothing plane.
