Kakuhiro Nonaka, rodbuilder.

As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that rather than competing with each other on the size or number of fish I catch, I find more joy and comfort in playing with the fish that swim in the river. That’s all there is to it, now find out what kind of bamboo rod builder Kakuhiro Nonaka is.

s been making bamboo fly rods in Kyoto for 40 years and is known as one of the leading experts in this field in Japan. And because of his work, he has traveled to many countries to fish.But there is one river that he calls his roots. It is the Adogawa River that flows through western Shiga. There is abundant nature and beautiful mountain villages there, and he has enjoyed fishing in this area since he was a child. Now that he is older, he feels happy to be able to fish here again.
