Shibi (鴟尾, shibi) is a Chinese and Japanese ornamental tile set on both ends of the ridgepole[1][2] that tops a shingled roof. The kanji for the word mean "kite" and "tail" respectively.[citation needed] Because it resembles a shoe, it is sometimes also called a kutsugata (沓形), meaning "shoe shape".[3]
Shibi often take the form of a shachihoko.
