Since it is unused, there are no noticeable scratches or defects. 【About Inaricho Tosaku Honten】 For over 230 years since its founding, Inaricho Tosaku Honten has walked alongside the beauty and tradition of Japanese rods, as well as the history of Japanese fishing tackle. As a fishing tackle store specializing in Japanese rods, their motto is "Edo's spirit." The one who led the fishing culture of Edo was "Taichiya Tosaku," commonly known as "Tosaku," and is said to be the origin of Edo Japanese rods. It all began in 1783 when Matsumoto Tosaku, a feudal retainer of the Kishu Tokugawa family, abandoned his samurai status and opened a fishing rod shop in front of Kotoku-ji Temple in Shitaya Inaricho (currently 3-chome, Higashi-Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo). The shop's name, "Taichiya Tosaku," was taken from the surname of his wife's father, Saburobei Taichiya, and he changed his real name to "Saburobei Matsumoto." Since then, the tradition of Edo Japanese rods has been preserved by six generations of Tosaku, including Saburo Matsumoto. ◆ Detailed Information ・Total Length: 4.7m (15.4 shaku carved) ・Number of Pieces: 5-piece (2-piece storage) ・Weight: Approximately 240g ・Manufacturer: Inaricho Tosaku Honten, Higashi-Ueno, Tokyo Tosaku stamp present ・Maker: Toko, stamp present ・Other: Rod bag, mouth plug included
