Lit. "drizzle fence." A type of fence in which bunches of bamboo and bush clover are secured by the top bar of a fence so as to extend over the sides of the fence. The design resembles a straw raincoat, but it differs from the minogaki 簑垣 (straw raincoat fence) in that the branches are turned up and there is a ground sill.
