simple deer-hunting blind
Archaic term for a simple blind made of horizontal branches and brushwood, used in deer hunting. Not in modern common use.
古文書に「鹿木」という狩猟用の隠れ場の記述がある。
In old documents, there is a description of a hunting blind called 'shikagi'.
Compound of 鹿 (shika, 'deer') and 木 (ki, 'tree/wood'), with rendaku voicing. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word likely refers to a wooden structure used in deer hunting.
