noun
part of a loom
Historical term for a specific component of a traditional Japanese loom; exact modern equivalent is unclear. Extremely rare outside specialized weaving or historical contexts.
古文書に「招木」という機織り機の部品名が出てくる。
The term 招木 appears in old documents as the name of a loom part.
The derivation is uncertain. The kanji 招 (invite, beckon) and 木 (wood) may describe the function or shape of the loom part, but this is speculative.
