[ enlargement ] ■ Bottom panels and lower and upper side panels which require wide space consist of several boards. The processing of a joint between two boards is called suriawase. Curved and irregular surfaces of boards are made even with a saw. This is one of the important processes to prevent water from coming in through joints. For this work, boards should be fixed with a supporting bar from the ceiling.
