The term is used for all similar Japanese bridges, even if they have greater or fewer planks. The tradition of such bridges comes from the poem Ise Monogatari (The Tales of Ise) in which the story's protagonist and his companions stop to rest at a famous iris marsh traversed by an eight-planked bridge. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
