Synopsis

This essay brings the topic of eaves to life via gorgeous photos of traditional buildings with eaves and via excerpts from a stunning Tanizaki work. See what it means when a roof is in the "helmet style," discover a term for "in high spirits," and learn to say, "She hung the birdcage from the eaves," "He lives six houses past mine," and "Those attempts all failed."
