Wow, the best net making web page I have yet found. It is , I think, an Ayu fishing type net. But except for being larger diameter frame than the Tenkara type, everything else appears the same: natural tree branch, handle at and angle,etc. Perhaps the method of attaching the net to frame is different.
This is a large page, net making info is posted between other topics, some being beautiful pictures of traditional thatched Japanese houses. One picture ,about 1/8th way down from the top, of a village and fields photographed from a distance is just amazingly beautiful, you want to leave to go there today to see it for yourself. The caption above it translates “Legs stretched to the World Heritage Shirakawago incidentally”. I suspect a walk about a protected world heritage shrine of some sort, I suspect this is in Hokkaido, one place I have always thought I would like to see someday.
Most internet translation engines will only translate down a certain amount on a large web page before it stops translating, If you what a translation of that bit the only way I know to accomplish it is to copy and paste the un-translated bit into the translation page separately. ( tip – on this page the connected text is above the picture , if not beside it)
Anyway, enjoy this net making info, and it starts near the bottom of the page, so look down all the way :

http://translate.google.com/translate?j ... l=ja&tl=enFor you impatient types, I am sad to report that some of the text near the bottom of the web page translates saying that you should plan on two months just to finish the painting of the frame. That being said, I found it not surprising that the Japanese poster was quite impatient himself. One of the frames near the bottom tells how he was impatient to wait the 10 hours for adhesive to dry, only to learn later that because it was winter time the actual time to wait was 3 days.
“After reading the instructions carefully for 10 hours that summer.
Winter and that takes three days.
Shame Shame.”
Another web page :
This best thing about this next page is it shows how they repaired a frame which became broken during the fishing season. It may also offer a way to deal with a less than ideal tree branch , where on side is to small or weak, you can perhaps expoxy on a larger branch. fwiw

I will pm to Daniel and let him be amused, or disturbed , or decide they are ok and post them himself or not.
I have some other too which may prove worthy of posting later. Time to go fish.
