An Exhibition specialized in angling culture will start Saturday September 17th !

The Great Amazon Exhibition finished on September 4th. Thank you very much to those of you who came to see the exhibition! It finished successfully, welcoming more than 110,000 visitors through its door. The next special exhibition is “THE ANGLING CULTURE IN JAPAN : History,Diversity,and Philosophy of Fishing”

It is said that Japanese people started to enjoy angling as a hobby rather than a part of livelihood in the Edo era. This exhibition is focused on angling for joy, not for livelihood. The exhibition includes beautiful angling goods that are fun to just to look at, colorful pictures of fishes and some sections dedicated to heroes in angling world.

We are very confident that the exhibition will be amusing not only for people who love angling, but also for people who have no knowledge about fishing. Please don’t miss it!
