August 26th: Threshing
The harvested rice is hung on Hasa (rice rack) to dry and carried to
Niwa (workshop).
This is a Senba (comb thresher) that thresh rice ears.
Holding a bundle of rice in hand, put the panicle base in a comb-shaped
groove and pulled it toward him, and threshed it.
When the efficient foot threshing machine appeared,
it gradually fell out of use.
This is a foot threshing machine (Ashibumidakokuki) that thresh rice ears.
They pedaled and rotated the cylindrical shape with the inverted V-shaped wire,
and threshed it by contacting it with a bundle of rice ears held in my hand.
This is Dous that does hulling rice.
Hulling rice removes rice husks from Paddy to make brown rice.
Dous has two upper and lower cylindrical shapes,
a rod comes out from the upper cylinder and has a handle at the tip.
A person pushes and pulls the handle to rotate the upper cylinder.
If you put the Paddy from the top and rotate it,
brown rice and rice husks will come out from the side.
Dous has many teeth of soil and wood in the body of the tub,
and there are radial grooves in the part where the top and bottom meet.
Toumi uses wind power to remove rice and bean chaff and saya.
Turn the impeller inside the right side with the hand-cranked handle
to send the wind to the left.
Put rice and beans in the inverted triangle on the upper left
and drop them little by little.
Heavy rice and beans come out of the lower window, while light rice husks
and pods are blown out of the leftmost opening and sorted.
This is Sengokutooshi that separates brown rice and rice husks
after hulling rice,
and removes brown rice waste rice and crushed rice of rice polishing.
Put them in the inverted triangle at the top and drop
and select the meshed slopes.
Mangokutooshi is the same as Sengokutooshi.
The difference is one or three nets.

This part is the heddle (Soukou).
The warp is threaded through the heddle hole.
When you step on the pedal,
the string is pulled and one heddle is lifted,
and half the warp is risen.
This is a weaving machine (Hataoriki) seen from the right.
