**Dr. Ishigaki’s take on the Fishing Show:** [http://aitech.ac.jp/~ishigaki/tenkara/2017/fishing%20show.htm](http://aitech.ac.jp/~ishigaki/tenkara/2017/fishing%20show.htm) These are the main points I found in Dr. Ishigaki’s blog post, some seem contradictory, but maybe I messed up the translation : 各社のテンカラ竿を見てまわるが 新製品はないようだった。 **Although (I) looked around at each companies Tenkara poles** **There seemed to be no new products.** テンカラブームに関心のある企業が多いのだから。 Many companies are interested in Tenkara boom. [he also expressed a desire for the companies to commit to a Tenkara Corner, where all companies’ tenkara products could be seen in one place for increased visibility] つぎにフジノのブースに。 改良したストレートラインが展示されている。 昨年3月の発売当初のラインより、 コーティングを厚くしたラインに改良している。 Next to the Fujino booth. Improved straight lines are on display. From the line that was released in March last year, It has improved thickened line coating. [which he comments the line now curls off the spool, but easily straightens] つり人社から「渓流2017春号」が発売になった 記事の8割がテンカラ関連である 源流釣行ではほとんどがテンカラである。。 7～8ｍのダブルハンドのテンカラなど内容がバラエティに富んでいる。。 “Mountain stream (magazine) 2017 spring issue” was released from Tsuribitosha About 80% of articles are related to Tenkara Mostly head waters fishing . . Contents are rich in variety, such as a double hand tenkara of 7 to 8 meters **The Yoshidakebari report** : [http://yoshidakebari.jugem.jp/?eid=2005](http://yoshidakebari.jugem.jp/?eid=2005) ---

ジャパンフィッシングショー2017 ～巨匠の毛鉤セット～ Japan Fishing Show 2017 ~ Masters’ Kebari Set ~ [http://nomurietenkara.naturum.ne.jp/e2862857.html](http://nomurietenkara.naturum.ne.jp/e2862857.html) Here’s a Tenkara Challenge - Who can read the names of the 4 Tenkara Masters’ names on the box of kebari (or on the label just above the box)? [ok, it’s not really a challenge for our Japanese friends on the forum] Oh, as an FYI, this is something I only realized a couple of weeks ago. I frequently look at the above blog. But I just realized I wasn’t always looking at that blog. Sometimes I was looking at a different blog, that at a quick glance, not paying attention to the name or the URL. **It is a different blog that looks the same with quick casual look.** This one; [http://tatsuoh.naturum.ne.jp/](http://tatsuoh.naturum.ne.jp/) Both are fun blogs to check out once in a while. ---

The 2018 Yokohama Fishing Show is this weekend. [2018 Yokohama Fishing Show](http://www.fishingshow.jp/exhibitors_list.php) The 2018 Osaka Fishing Show is the weekend of Feb 3d & 4th. [2018 Osaka Fishing Show](http://www.fishing.or.jp/list/list.html) I wonder if there will be anything tenkara related announced at the shows this year? The only thing I’ve seen a hint about is a new Fujino line being tested in post on the Yoshidakebari blog a few weeks ago. [FUJINOLINEから新しいテンカララインが](https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fyoshidakebari.jugem.jp%2F%3Feid%3D2092&edit-text=) Shimano has already released their Pack rod, and Tsuribito the Dr. Ishigaki New Tenkara Techniques DVD. That leaves a possibility of the other manufacturers to present something new. Not that I need anything new. I just need to become more skillful using what I have. But as the old saying goes, If something is not growing it is dying. I’d expect a few of the bloggers in Japan will post something in a few days. ---
