stone tidal weir/tidal stone weir Explanation: I agree with Su Hong san. Here I provide more specified or technical target term for 石干見（いしひみ） （Note: 石千見 is a typo of 石干 見which refers to 簗 (weir/fishweir) made of stones.) Please see the reference link below. It looks like there are two variants for the target; "stone tidal weir" and "tidal stone weir," of which "stone tidal weir" is much more popular than "tidal stone weir," but I found few web reference where "stone tidal weir" and "石干見" appear in parallel. If the document is not technical, then the target suggested by Su Hong san may be better. I hope this helps you. Reference: http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110002533934/en |
