Uke (Ken) - Uke

Japanese: うけ(筌) - うけ
Uke (Ken) - Uke
It is also called "Ue". It is a fishing tool that is laid at the bottom of a fishway in a river, lake, or shallow sea at a key point, and uses the nature of fish to trap them and capture them. The size and shape vary depending on the type of fish to be caught, and the name varies depending on the region, such as "Do". The most commonly used Yokoke is structured by weaving thin rods such as bamboo or tree branches with rope or vines to form a tube, tying one end tightly and making an opening on the other, and attaching a funnel-shaped "Kaeshi" to prevent fish from escaping.

Japanese:
〈うえ〉とも呼ぶ。河川,湖沼,浅海の水底において魚道の要衝に敷設し,魚類の性質を利用してその中に陥穽せしめて捕獲する漁具である。捕獲対象の魚種によって大きさや形は多様であり,その名称も〈胴〉など地域によっていろいろであった。最も普遍的に使用された横筌について構造をみると,竹や樹枝などの細棒を縄や蔓などで編んで筒状にし,その一方を緊縛し他の一方に口を設け,そこから入った魚が脱出できないように漏斗状の〈かえし〉などを付けている。
