Located in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, Lake Kitaura is a lagoon that forms part of Lake Kasumigaura.
The irrigation channels known as "hoso" that flow around it are a paradise for vibrant creatures.
One fish that shines particularly brightly in this small field is the tanago fish.
For 40 years, he has been fascinated by the dainty inhabitants of the hoso. Narita Omitaka, a resident of Tokyo's Adachi Ward, is completely immersed in tanago fishing.
Backed by experience, his fishing skills are unparalleled. He is passing on his time-honored techniques to the younger generation.
He is also a highly skilled member of the Tokyo Tanago Fishing Research Association, of which he serves as secretary-general.
Great passion poured into a tiny float.
The fascinating world of tanago fishing will be passed on to the next generation.
A tiny universe unfolds in the hoso of Lake Kitaura. In a fascinating and otherworldly space...
The pursuit of fish that shine like stars.
