ゆきづり【雪吊・雪吊り・雪づり】

yukizuri

Definition

Noun

  1. Yukitsuri or yukizuri: A conical structure consisting of a tall bamboo poll erected beside the trunk of a tree or shrub from which ropes are hung and tied to the exterior branches or around the base circumference to provide support during winter and to prevent branches from breaking under the weight of the snow.

Etymology

Derived from ゆき【雪】 yuki "snow" and つり【吊・吊り】 tsuri "suspending; hanging".

Notes

Yukitsuri (yukizuri), which are common in certain prefectures such as Kanagawa, are very similar to ゆきがこい【雪囲い】 yukigakoi, wooden structures used in other prefectures to protect trees and shrubs.
