| Jeff, this probably isn't the right answer but that just looks like a Roofed Entry Gate (sukiya mon) without the gates. I've never heard of a specific structure used to frame a view but then there's so much I don't know about J structures and gardens. |

Hi,
I think, (there used to be more knowledgeable people here) that there is not a word for the structure but a word for the view that is framed. I could offer sakkie which is most popularly known as a 'borrowed view' but this is not quite right. This is always where we used to meet problems when it was assumed that Japanese Garden was a cookie cutter. At a certain time the garden was not designed to be in but viewed from (another story) making framing more important than a garden one might stroll in.

You missed the H out of SHAKKIE for borrowed scenery.
