I verified with Japanese friends of mine.

The only references I could find for =E5=8E=9F=E7=B3=B8 is a thread used for
weaving, most likely inspired from =E7=B5=B9=E7=B3=B8 (kenshi) which means =
silk
thread.

I verified this with Chinese, but they don't know any compound like
=E5=8E=9F=E7=B3=B8 as far as I could find. Also could not find anything in a
Cantonese dictionary.

And the pronunciation is gen-shi, where gen sounds like get, and shi
like she.
