		<description><![CDATA[When I first started researching tenkara  I ran into some Japanese blogs with some awesome pictures of people climbing waterfalls, swimming through pools, rappelling, and then enjoying some tenkara fishing in difficult to get places. They called the activity of climbing waterfalls &#8220;shower climbing&#8221;, and in Japanese it is also called &#8220;sawa no bori&#8220;.

		<description><![CDATA[It is true, misty mountains, with a thin layer of fog just in the right place, may be a stereotypical image of Japan. Nonetheless, they are real. Images of these serene and somewhat mystical mountains probably come to the mind of many people when I say I&#8217;m spending time in a remote mountain area of [...]]]></description>

For 15 days now I have been exploring different parts of the wonderful Maze River (Mazegawa). It&#8217;s most definitely a world-class river for its looks and fish-holding potential. It&#8217;s one of the most scenic and diverse streams I have ever fished. The Mazegawa, in this area, provides 28KM of fishable waters. Roads follow and cross [...]]]></description>

This time of year is considered the best time for tenkara fishing in the mountain streams of Japan. One of the main indicators of this is the Fuji no hana (藤の花, fuji flower, wisteria japonica), which is now just starting to bloom in the higher elevations of the mountains here.
The fuji flower is commonly found [...]]]></description>

Last year while visiting my wife&#8217;s grandparents in Yamagata we picked warabi and zenmai. This time the zenmai are gone from Gifu, but I did get to pick and [...]]]></description>

In 2008, when I started doing in-depth research on tenkara, the traditional Japanese method of fishing with a fly, this site was one of the only pages with content in English.
