shiorido 枝折戸

Also written 紫折戸. Lit. "broken branch door." A type of wicket *kido 木戸 used at the entrance to the inner tea garden *uchiroji 内露地. It is a simple hinged door made of bent and split green bamboo woven into a diamond shape and tied with bracken rope. The door is suspended between two log posts, and usually hung about 15 cm above the ground. The shiorido closely resembles the sunokodo 簀子戸. It is also confused with the raised lattice door *agesudo 揚簀戸; the terms are used interchangeably by Akisato Ritō 秋里籬島 in Tsukiyama teizōden 築山庭造伝.
