English: From original book: " A light trellis of bamboo is a favorite and common device for this area [the ranma]. Fig. 145 gives a simple form of this nature, which may be often seen. In a house in Tokio we saw a similar design carried out in porcelain (fig. 146), — the central vertical rod having a dark-blue glaze, while the lighter horizontal rods were white in color... It should be understood that in every case the interspaces between the designs, except in the perforated ones, are freely open to the next room. By means of these open ramma much better ventilation of the rooms is secured when the fusuma is closed."
