broad veranda; spacious veranda; eaves
Refers to a wide, open-sided corridor or veranda in traditional Japanese architecture, often found along the outside of a room, under the eaves. The gloss 'eaves' is a loose approximation; the word describes the space under the eaves, not the eaves themselves.
