Hobikisen (Fish boat of Japan)
Sailboats on Lake Kasumigaura in Ibaraki Prefecture have a great sail. Wind fills a large sail (12m x 20m) and pushes the boat through the water, pulling a 100-meter network for catching smelt and smelt. Network is a funnel-shaped net bag, which later became known as the trawl. A feature of the boat is at the top of the trawl gear attachment to sailing Ray, and down to the rope that holds the foot parusa.Set stretches or over the side of the boat or at the stern of the boat wake. (See the drawing: Three ropes tied to the yard (tsurinawa) generate not only towing power but also lifting power for sails. The balance among three powers (wind power, gravity and drag) makes the boat to sail in a stable manner.). Fishermen who use such boats, requires a good sense of balance, as strong gusts make the boat unstable. In addition, it is difficult to maneuver a fishing boat, the wind died down. Inventor of “Hobikisen”was Ryohei Orimoto.Ryohei Orimoto was born in Sakaninomiya, Kasumigaura-machi in 1834.The name of his shop was “Aiya” because his ancestors were engaged in indigo dyeing. He did not make a living as a fisherman. He sometimes dragged daitokunet for living and dedicated himself to the improvement and invention of living and agricultural tools. In 1880, at the age of 46, Ryohei invented “hobikisen” for shirauo fishing, which at that time used ditoku net. Usually, two to three fishing boats were used for daitoku net-fishing and more than 20 workers were needed. Ryohei was willing to share his invention of hobikisen with many other fishermen around Kasumigaura, placing what was in the common good of the local community above his personal profit.Thanks to his effort, fishery in Kasumigaura changed from organizational operation centering on the headman called amimoto to individual operation in the unit of family. This paved the way for fishermen to earn income according to their fish catches, instead of being paid on a daily basis, thus greatly contributing to the stabilization of the lives of inshore fishermen. This method of fishing began in the Meidzi era (1868-1912) .Ob this invention can be said that this cultural heritage Kasumigaura world class. When the engine is installed in the period between 1965 and 1975, created a trawler. Boats, currently working as a tourist attraction in late summer and early autumn.
