Pergola - Pergola (English spelling)

A type of shade trellis, this Western-style gazebo has climbing plants such as roses and wisteria entwined around it, giving it the appearance of an outdoor corridor. The name is derived from the Italian word for grape trellis. It is also called a "green corridor." It has been known since ancient Egypt and spread in Italy during the Renaissance. Pergolas are not protected from the rain because they have an open top, but they do serve to extend the interior of a room to the outdoors, cool the terrace, and block views from the neighboring second floor. Materials include aluminum, flexible sheets, and wood.

Japanese:

日陰棚の一種で、バラやフジなどつる性の植物を絡ますようにつくった外廊下風の洋風四阿(あずまや)。イタリア語のブドウ棚から派生した。「緑廊」ともいう。古代エジプト時代から知られ、ルネサンスのころイタリアで広まった。パーゴラは上が抜けているため雨は防がないが、室内を戸外にまで広げる役目やテラスを涼しくする役目を果たし、隣の二階からの視線も遮る。材料にはアルミ、フレキシブルシート、木などがある。
