The 5.6.7.8's rock!

You are dealing with a girl who is 95% moving to Osaka by 2022. Probably a lot sooner. Fell in love (so did wifey, and she is fluent in Japanese) when we did some modelling gigs there.

Osaka is wicked cool, just a bit wary about the damn earthquakes, but fuck it.

about

Celebrating 21 years of staunch independence, Deep Elm Records' 13th label sampler "This Heart Of Mine" features new and unreleased music from veterans Lights & Motion, cinematic composers Carly Comando and Christoffer Franzen, U137, Inward Oceans, Lily And The Pearl and many more. The new sampler serves as the premiere of the stunning new track "Silver Lining" by cinematic post-rock powerhouse LIGHTS & MOTION. "Silver Lining" will appear on the band's forthcoming fourth full-length album to be released in early 2017 after more than 24 months in the making. The band has not yet released the title of the album. The sampler also acts as an introduction to the latest addition to the Deep Elm roster: cinematic post-rock outfit FLOATING IN SPACE from Alicante, Spain. Floating In Space's twelve track instrumental debut "The Edge Of The Light" will be released in late Summer 2016. From post-rock to punk rock, indie rock to singer-songwriter, if you've never heard of Deep Elm Records chances are after listening to this sampler you will always have this stellar family of fine artists on your radar. Every current, new and forthcoming release in the Deep Elm catalog is represented in this brand new, hour long, Name Your Price sampler. Cover artwork by photographer Aaron Burden. 

"Our very first label sampler 'Records For The Working Class' was catalog number DER-369. The new label sampler is DER-569. Hard to believe we have released 200 albums in between. Where has the time gone? It sure passes quickly when you love what you do. What I think is so exciting is that we're releasing some of our first records ever...all credit to the bands. I'm simply the 'guy behind the guy behind the guy' to quote one of my favorite films Swingers. It's been an honor to have been involved in so much incredible music over the years. Deep Elm marches forward as a 'true' independent that exist for the love of music when most so-called 'indie' labels are, in fact, funded by major record labels and their affiliates. But not us. On a completely self-sufficient basis and without any outside support, Deep Elm competes in an industry dominated by corporate giants. We are proud to be 100% independent. So if you like what you hear, Name Your Price and spread the word. And in return, we'll make sure these bands are there when you need them" says label founder John Szuch. 

"Deep Elm Records has become as much a mark of quality as it is a record label. Especially when it comes to post-rock, you know any release that has Deep Elm's name on it is going to be good, such is the plethora of talent on their roster that we have become accustomed to." - Rockfreaks

They do use very different tackle to us and fish in different ways dome of the time.

The Edo wazao,rods you mention that your dad likes are just gorgeous pieces of intricate art. Ive read up a lot and watched many vids of him making them. But they are made for a unique type of fishing. For tanago  The bait used is as small as a grain of rice!

They have competitions to catch the smallest fish. With piano wire used to make the hooks! Amazing/

Where though out the world fish are caught and prized for how big and heavy they are!

The original master craftsmen for these rods were Samurai. Making rods for when they relaxed. But as you probably know theres a big problem in Japan with the apprenticeship system and there are very few craftsmen alive and only 3 under 50 ylears old. But they are very secretive of their work and dont like passing their skills on so don't take apprentices. Instead they say they have to learn it by themselves which I find very strange.

Add to that the bamboo forests are being lost to real estate as they make nice areas for the rich to live. Plus the sap used for lacquer only comes from a certain urishi tree if I remember the name right. And the people who collect and refine just don;t do it any more and as it can be harmful to the skin and eyes it is a skilled job.

If your dads got a spare one he can chuck it my way (＾◡＾)
