Sewer

Japanese: どぶね

This is an old-style Japanese boat that was used from around Izumozaki in Niigata Prefecture to the western end of Toyama Bay. It was used for coastal fishing using beach seine nets and fixed nets, but is now less common. It is usually 10-11m long, with a shoulder width of about 1.4-1.5m, and made mainly of cedar, with 5-7 planks joined together. The technique of folding the planks on both sides still remains, so it is thought that in the past it was a hollowed-out boat. The rowing equipment is oars, and 6-7 oars are used for large boats, and 4 for small ones.

Japanese:

新潟県の出雲崎あたりから富山湾の西端あたりにかけて使われていた古形の和船。地引網や定置網などの沿岸漁業に使われていたが，いまでは少なくなった。長さは通常10～11m，肩幅は1.4～1.5mくらい，材はもっぱら杉で，5～7枚の板を継ぎ合わせて造るが，その両側のオモキの部分にはくる手法が残されているので，古くは刳（くり）舟であったことが考えられる。漕具は櫂（かい）で，大型ならば6～7挺，小型ならば4挺を用いる。
