Fan-shaped ray
This is a ray, and its body resembles a shark. Its skin is rough on both the top and bottom. Like a shark, the skin is peeled off and eaten. The taste is very delicious. There is also a "fan-shaped shark" (Uchiwa-zame). This is different from that.

* "Dansen" means a round fan (uchiwa).

Author's Note: "Baien Gyohin Zusho" is a fish encyclopedia by the late Edo period naturalist, Mouri Baien. As the explanatory text is primarily in classical Chinese (Kanbun), it contains many characters that cannot be displayed on a computer, as well as Kanbun reading marks (kaeriten) and okurigana. For readability, characters that cannot be displayed on a computer are represented as □, and in the case of names, they are shown in the format [■ is 〇+〇] whenever possible.

Additionally, Kanbun reading marks and okurigana are written in katakana and Chinese numerals, while furigana and okurigana are written in hiragana.
