Video Description
Dive into the captivating world of Japanese craftsmanship with Koji-San, a master artisan renowned for his skill in handcrafting bamboo Kishu Herazao fishing rods. Step by step, follow Koji-San's meticulous process as he transforms raw bamboo, specifically Sasamorpha borealis, into exquisite fishing rods designed to catch Japanese crucian carp. Located in Hashimoto, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, Koji-San's workshop is where the magic unfolds. Here, the bamboos - suzutake, madake, and yadake - are carefully selected, dried for several years, and meticulously examined before being crafted into fishing rods. With over one hundred and thirty steps of handiwork, Koji-San brings to life each rod with precision and artistry, from cutting to assembly and finishing. Notably, these Kishu Herazao rods boast the namitsugi jointing technique to ensure durability and prevent breakage. Each rod, composed of three to five bamboo sections, undergoes rigorous testing to ensure strength and flexibility, making them not only functional but also exquisite works of art. Join us on a journey through time and tradition as we unveil the masterful craftsmanship behind Japanese Kishu Herazao fishing rods, where beauty meets functionality and artistry intertwines with nature. 🎋🎣 #BambooCraftsmanship #JapaneseFishingRods #KishuHerazao Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 0:25 - ‘Takegari’ - harvesting bamboo 1:15 - ‘Kijikumi’ - Selecting the pieces 3:08 - ‘Hi-ire’ Firing (Straightening the bamboo over hot coals) 4:30 - ‘Nananuki’ - Removing the insides 5:29 - ‘Komikezuri’ - Cutting the Komi / Shaping the insert 5:40 - ‘Hosaki Kezuri’ - Carving the tip of the rod 6:17 - ‘Itomaki’ Winding silk thread 6:50 - ‘Urushinuri’ - Applying Urushi lacquer 8:21 - ‘Togidashi’ - scrubbing back the lacquer 8:41 - ‘SashiKomi’ - fitting the pieces / carving out the insert joins 9:53 - ‘Dou Urushi’ - Final coating of lacquer 10:29 - Assembling the completed rod 10:50 - In the field fishing 📸 Copyright © 2023.
