Translation guide
A trellis is a framework of light strips of wood or metal, often used to support climbing plants. In Japanese, the most common equivalent is トレリス (torerisu), a loanword from English. Traditional Japanese gardens may use structures like 藤棚 (fujidana) for wisteria or 竹垣 (takegaki) for bamboo fences, but these are more specific. For general use, トレリス is recommended.
A lattice framework used to support climbing plants, often made of wood or metal.
