Indispensable in fishing, nets were a part of life in ancient Japan, and scenes of fishnets being dried under the sun frequently appeared in poems. Later during the Edo Period, the fishnet was stylized into a decorative motif. A model example of this motif, now preserved by the Imperial Household, appears in “Drying Fishnets”, a painting rendered by Kaiho Yusho (1533-1615) on a byobu (a folding screen used as a room partition). Dating back to the Momoyama Period, the painting is said to be the originator of fishnet motifs that later became popular for other arts and crafts, as well as byobu.
