Netting machine - Seimoki (English spelling)
A machine that knots or combines threads or wires to make nets (fishing nets, various nets). Nets may or may not have knots, and the knots may be either honme or kaerumata. The types of net-making machines are shown in the table below. Honme weaving machines come in two types: manual warp-net type and powered weft-net type, but these are not used much these days. Kaerumata weaving machines are the most commonly used, and most are powered weft-net type. Warp nets knot horizontally zigzag threads vertically, creating two symmetrical rings, and when a new net thread is passed through them and the existing section is tightened, a row of honme knots is created.
