Fishnet Tea Towel

Here’s a mysterious tea towel. I didn’t know what this was but a viewer, C. Angus did, “this looks to me like set of equipment for an archer. The bow goes across the frame, there is a hat and small sword and the object that looks like a fish basket could be a woven arrow quiver “yabira”
Thank you.
