The night road becomes a wall; sweep the bottom with a stick
What the record says
Walking along a road at night, you may suddenly find the way ahead has become a wall and you can go nowhere. People call it the nurikabe and fear it. Sweep the lower part with a stick and it disappears; striking the upper part does nothing.
