Isaba

Japanese: いさば
Isaba

...A ship for transporting raw fish and dried fish, seen mainly on the coasts of the Kii Peninsula, Shikoku and Kyushu. It was also called simply "isaba." The Wakun Shiori states that "Isaba is now called 'fish shop,'" and even today in many places in eastern Japan, this word is still used to mean fish seller or fishmonger, so the name "isaba ship" was based on the purpose of the ship, not on its physical characteristics.

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention "isaba" are listed below.
