Sunning bamboos for fishing rods
HASHIMOTO, Japan - Katsuyoshi Ofuku, a veteran fishing rod maker, is working on bamboo cuttings being dried in the sun for use as rod materials. The bamboos being sunned are used specifically to make fishing rods to catch the artificially cultivated crucian carp known in Japanese as ''herabuna.'' Ofuku, who has built fishing rods for 48 years, is drying 3,000 bamboo rods outside his studio in Hashimoto, Wakayama Prefecture, where 90 percent of the herabuna rods (hera zao) used in Japan are produced.
