Authentic Tenkara Net Auction to aid Japan Relief Efforts
In the wake of the recent earthquake and tsunami TenkaraUSA is auctioning off a very rare authentic Tenkara net.
The net was made by Ikichi-san, one of the last tenkara net makers in Japan. It is made from a single branch of the Kaya tree. Tenkara nets are becoming rarer with few makers and fewer trees with the right shapes and angles. This may be the only opportunity to acquire this type of net in the US.
The net is being auctioned on eBay and will end on March 19, 2011 at 19:54:02 PDT. To bid on this net and aid in the Japan relief efforts go to http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-Authentic-Tenkara-Net-Japan-Relief-donation-/320670445593.
100% of the proceeds will go to the relief efforts.
