Fly fishing has a long history in the West, and in the past, bamboo fly rods, known as bamboo fly rods, were used as the best rods. Nonaka Kakuhiro has been making these bamboo rods in Kyoto for nearly 40 years, and is one of the pioneers of bamboo fly rod builders in Japan, making rods for many fly fishers both in Japan and overseas. As a result of his work, Nonaka has traveled fishing all over Japan and even to remote areas overseas, and the Azumi River, which flows through western Shiga Prefecture, is the river that Nonaka grew up on and became accustomed to fishing in since he was a child. The rich nature and quaint Kuzu River and the mountain village of Kutsuki there are landscapes that are close to Nonaka's heart, and perhaps it is a place where he can feel "happiness" once again now that he is older. 【English subtitles available】 Kakuhiro Nonaka has been making bamboo fly rods in Kyoto for 40 years and is known as one of the leading experts in this field in Japan.
