広ひろ縁えん

noun

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.

• 古ふるい旅りょ館かんの広ひろ縁えんに座すわって庭にわを眺ながめた。

  I sat on the broad veranda of the old inn and gazed at the garden.

• この家いえの広ひろ縁えんは日ひ当あたりが良よくて気き持もちがいい。

  The spacious veranda of this house gets good sunlight and feels pleasant.
