What is Kaerumata?
Kaerumata is a member between crossbeams, which is wider at the bottom to support the load, and is called Kaerumata because it is shaped like a frog's crotch. Initially, Kaerumata were necessary for structural reasons, but as time went by, they came to be used for decoration and carvings were made on the inside.
