* Specify traditional Japanese architecture, add explanation
* Link to more generic term (I was confused when looking up 
“lintel”)
* [archit] field
This is paired with 敷居 – do we want to link them?

  Comments:
but again we normally omit "in Japan/Japanese", and then we're down to "annual open day school event" which doesn't really explain much. 
I've tried adding to it so that we're actually explaining it a little better. I was going to add "held in the fall" but it looks as if 
there's a minority of schools doing them in the spring instead.
I don't think there's any reason to omit "school festival" which is in chujiten, eij, etc. It's less opaque than "cultural festival", a 
gloss which I don't think will mean much to anybody who's not already familiar with the concept.

  Comments:
I added the explanatory gloss because when I looked up this word and read
"school festival; cultural festival; arts festival"
then I did not understand what it meant.
8. A* 2020-12-15 09:42:23  Marcus Richert <...address hidden...>
  Comments:
I think "school festival" is the most 
informative − that two-word gloss already 
implies "annual event held by school", which 
again, is why I don't think we need the expl.
