Japan's oldest fishing specialty book 【kasenroku】 Japanese fishing culture and tradition

Kasenroku is said to be Japan's oldest fishing secret book. It is said to have been written in 1723, and the author was a samurai named Tsugaru Uneme. It is said that fishing became popular as a hobby for the common people in Japan during the Edo period. I believe that fishing for food and fishing for pleasure spread among the common people, and that ``fishing'' became a sophisticated culture and established a uniquely Japanese style. It would be a huge amount to introduce the historical background and each episode, so today I would like to introduce a part of the prologue of "Kasenroku" to you. And on this channel, I will continue to introduce Japan's fishing culture, history, and traditions.

An angler's enjoyment does not end with the result of fishing. Social honor is not important. Right now, my entire world is inside this fishing boat. But life is always complicated. That's why I don't worry about such things in life, I just try to be innocent and forget about the troublesome things in the world from time to time. In other words, those with compassion enjoy quietness, and those with wisdom enjoy fishing. Ah, I wonder if there will be so much fun...
