"bow-patterned slats in a transom." Thin curvilinear slats that are set vertically into a transom. A transom of this type is characteristic of the Zen style *zenshūyō 禅宗様. It is normally placed between the head-penetrating tie beam *hinuki 飛貫, and the neck penetrating tie beam hinuki. Occasionally, flame-like shapes with diagonal wavy slats kaen hōju 火焔宝珠, surround the sacred hall on each side. This form is placed at the center of each of the eight sections of transoms at the octagonal pagoda found at Anrakuji 安楽寺 (Kamakura period) in Nagano Prefecture, and at the temple, Shōfukuji Jizōdō 正福寺地蔵堂 (1408; a 3x3 bay hall) in Tokyo.
