特集:「テンカラ釣りの奥義を探る」 ―シンプルな仕掛けに潜む深い技―
NEXT ISSUE VOL.57 August 2017
Special Feature: “Exploring the Mystery of Tenkara Fishing” - a deep technique hidden in a simple mechanism -

From the issue summary:
西洋毛鉤釣りであるフライフィッシングに対して、日本の伝承毛鉤釣りであるテンカラを嗜む釣り人は、
世界的にも増加傾向にあり、密かなブームとして注目されています。
その理由は“シンプルな仕掛けに対する、技の奥行き”にあります。
初めて竿を手にした人が、その日のうちに魚を釣り上げることができること。
その土地ごとに伝承された毛鉤があり、
日本の多様な自然と風土に裏付けられた、独特の技や釣り人の自然観が、そこには凝縮されているのです。
次号では、伝説となった名人たちや各地の伝承毛鉤文化を探り
「テンカラ釣りの奥義」に迫ります。
My crude translation:
For anglers who enjoy fly fishing there is western fly fishing, in Japan there is the traditional fly fishing, which is Tenkara.
Tenkara is on the rise in the world as well, and it is gaining attention as a secret boom.

The reason is found in "simple gimmick against the depth of the skills/techniques ".
A person who gotteen a pole in hand for the first time can catch a fish that day.

There are traditional kebari that have been passed down from each land,
Supported by the diversity of nature and climate and unique views of nature and skills of anglers, are summarized here.

In the next issue, we explore the tradition kebari culture of the masters who became legendary
and approach “the mystery of Tenkara fishing”.

Here’s a little more from that.

I believe that’s previous issue # 56. Maybe I’m reading it wrong.

Since the time of the original post about Fishing Cafe Vol 57, they have added 4 pages of previews of the issue.

Fujioka Yoshikazu [ 藤岡美和(ふじおか よしかず)] writes about the etymology of tenkara and it’s common roots with Ayu fishing or Tenkara rods and Ayu fishing. And tenkara and ayu kebari: “アユのテンカラ竿”。Ayu Tenkara Rod. Plus 『加賀のテンカラ毛鉤』“Kaga Tenkara fly.”

I thought it matching well with a couple of Todoroki-san’s blog post.
