noun
blown-off roof technique; roofless depiction
A Yamato-e painting technique where a building is shown without its roof to reveal the interior. Used in art history contexts.
吹抜屋台は、平安時代の絵巻物でよく見られる技法です。
The blown-off roof technique is a method often seen in Heian-period picture scrolls.
Compound of 吹抜 (ふきぬき, 'blown-off' or 'open to the sky') and 屋台 (やたい, 'building' or 'framework'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term describes the visual effect of removing the roof in paintings.
