noun
bamboo fence resembling a fishing net
A traditional bamboo fence used in fishing contexts, designed to look like a net. Rare term, mainly encountered in historical or regional descriptions.
この地方では、昔ながらの網干垣が今も見られる。
In this region, you can still see traditional bamboo fences that look like fishing nets.
Variant spelling with okurigana; both forms are rare and refer to the same traditional fence.
Compound of 網干 (aboshi, 'drying fishing nets') and 垣 (kaki, 'fence'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term likely describes a fence used for hanging or drying nets.
