Wooden nose
|
An architectural term. Refers to the part of a pillar that protrudes from the pillar, such as a crossbeam or a base. Used in Daibutsu-style and Zen-style architecture. Originally, it was just a simple molding attached to the top, but gradually the shapes became more complex, and in the early modern period, it became a three-dimensional sculpture of an elephant's trunk, a dragon's head, a lion, or flowers.
